Freikorps Ring (Leering Skull) (Item FREI 1-2; WEHR 18-20) |
||||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: This is one of the favorite ring styles of the Freikorps troops who saved Germany from the red menace in the 1920s. The skull is very similar to the “Werewolf” faction of the Free Corps. But skulls were used by several of these fierce combat-ready troops. See Item WEHR 3-2. The Freikorps is credited with being the one element that saved Germany from inclusion in the monstrous Soviet system of horror. Forever must its memory be preserved. The ring is clearly marked with ‘835’ silver designation inside. This is a handsome rare addition to any Kampfzeit collection.
PRICE: $950.00 |

Freikorps or Sturmtruppen Ring (Item FREI 1-3; WWI 8-1) |
||||||
| DESCRIPTION: Here is one of the tradition rings produced in the 1920s.For the narrative of how we acquired these rings and other jewelry see About Our Rings. The leering skull was a symbol of the German elite divisions know as Sturmtruppen, Storm Troops (assault detachment), which were infantry units specially armed and trained for attacking enemy defensive positions. This type of ring was employed by both these special troops and the Freikorps, later. The Freikorps, Free Corps, was a paramilitary unit that fought the communists in the German streets of Berlin and Munich and in the post-WWI years. They were used to defend the German borders against the good possibility of invasion by the red army and later they were very successful and effective in putting down the revolution from the left-wing Spartacists and other human rodents in 1921. After saving Germany from the red menace the Freikorps was dissolved and many of these seasoned fighters joined the ranks of the SA (Sturmabteilung) (Storm Sections), the private army of Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP. This is a traditions ring made in commemoration of the mission of the Deutsches Freikorps. Of course, many of them were worn by ex-member and SA troopers. The ring is quite nice and made in the old 1920s fashion although produced in the mid to late 1930s. This is a very nice-looking skull ring.

It is a beautifully proportioned piece of jewelry and can be worn without stirring up too much controversy among the liberals and Baptists.
