DESCRIPTION: We have offered bigger things, we have offered things actually more beautiful, but we have never offered anything more important, more touching than this wonderful finger ring that was presented in love to Hermann Goring from his first true love, Carin. Carin was born Carin Fock in Stockholm in 1888, the daughter of a Swedish Baron and his Anglo-Irish wife. Her father the Baron was also a Swedish army colonel. Carin became Carin Von Kantzow upon her marriage in 1910 to army officer Baron Niels Von Kantzow. They had one child Thomas Von Kantzow born in 1922. In 1920, she met Hermann Goring, five years her junior who was then working as a commercial pilot in Sweden for Svenska Lufttrafik and they carried on what could be said to be an adulterous relationship although Carin and her husband due to the absence of domestic tranquility had been estranged for years, both living separately.  She was divorced in December, 1922 and married Hermann shortly thereafter. After their marriage on 3 January 1923, the Gorings first lived in a house in the suburbs of Munich, but they had to flee to Sweden after the failed Munich Putsch of November 1923. Carin followed her husband into the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) and by all accounts was even a more enthusiastic party member than her husband. She was immediately taken into the inner circle of the NS Kameradschaft.  She was celebrated in her own home and in regular party leadership sessions in the Bratwurstglockel Bierstube in the heart of old Munich.  Now that the NSDAP had stated to achieve political power, Goring returned to Germany on a permanent basis however his beloved wife was little able to join in physical support of his new and important offices within the Party due to her serious ill health. She suffered from tuberculosis during her later years.  Her mother Huldine Fock died completely unexpectedly on 25 September, 1931. Carin was tremendously shocked, and she died of heart failure on 17 Oct., 1931 four days prior to her 43rd birthday. The love affair between Hermann and Carin was such that romantic novels are penned about. She adored Hermann the heroic flying ace of WWI and he passionately loved his Swedish Walkurie. “Walkurie’ in spirit but unfortunately weak in health. It is recorded that Carin thought of him as a Leonidas at the head of the Spartan 300’s at the battle of Thermopylae. The analogy was very good.  Hermann and the NS Party were beset and besieged by Communists, Reactionaries, and in the early days of the ‘Kampzeit’ by the Weimer Government's Police as well.  But like the ancient 300, they stood their ground with Hermann Goring at the forefront of the struggle for Germany. This was the reason that Carin gave this particular ring to her mighty and brave hero. The hand carved cameo depicts none other than King Leonidas who wears the Spartan helmet of his rank. Carin presented it to him on 12.1.1923 in Stockholm. The ring is huge measuring 1 ½ inches from top to bottom of the portrait and a little over an inch wide around the shank of the ring is hand engraving that reads as follows:

Zum Geburstag
Lieber Hermann
Deine Carin 

And on the underside of the cameo it reads 12.1.1923 Stockholm.

Goring was born Jan 12, 1893, and she presented the ring to him on his birthday a couple of days after they were married no doubt so that he could wear it at the various wedding celebrations that followed for weeks thereafter. The inscription translated reads: For your Birthday Dear Hermann from Your Carin. The ring is beautiful in its presentation and certainly massive. It measures in ring size about 11 and made for a big man. It is in 18k gold and is heavy. The carving is very excellently accomplished on a perfect cameo shell.  It is certain that Goring treasured this token from the wife who he also treasured. It is more than probable that receiving this ring contributed greatly to his passionate penchant for acquiring many diversified rings. There are pictures of him wearing many different patterns of rings, many that he designed himself and had them made and assembled by his main jewelers Zeitner and Franz Schnell. But it is doubtful that any one of them ever meant more to him than this ring from Carin. We were told that he did not wear this ring after Carin died fearful of ever cracking the cameo.  He placed it in a shrine to Carin that he had in his residence in Kaiserdamm Berlin in 1931 and later in his estate in the Baronial hunting Lodge which he built in 1933 in Carin's honor. It was there that he had her body re-interred from her original grave in Sweden in a funeral attended by one of her greatest admirers, The German Fuhrer Adolf Hitler.

Carinhall was demolished under Goring’s orders as the barbarous Russian troops advanced in 1945.  In Germany everything was far beyond hectic!  The sheer horrors that the Mongols were committing along the way sent chills in the heart of Europe’s most civilized people. The hopes for both personal survival and the survival of their besieged nation were the first thing that occupied every moment of thought of all the people and especially the leaders such as ‘Unser Hermann’ as the German folk knew him.  He did not want this memorial to the beloved Carin to fall into the claws of the Satanic Reds. Unfortunately, time ran completely out and the remains of Carin in the mausoleum were abandoned by the Luftwaffe troopers who got out without a minute to spare and the barbarian hordes discovered only a pile of debris and rocks where the beautiful estate once stood.  But the mausoleum did fall into their hands. They desecrated her remains in childlike glee with their Commissars directing the game. It is said that they played football with her head. It is also said but not proven, that Hermann Goring was shown a film that was taken by the Reds of this foul act of desecration. Unproven but believable considering the vicious hate unleashed against the German people and their leaders by this Star Chamber Tribunal at Nuremberg. In offering this magnificent example of the finest in cameo jewelry, we also present it as a lasting token and memory of a romance that spans the years and someday will be respected and admired by men and women of the Aryan West. R.I..P Carin and Hermann, you were definitely the kind of lovers from which legends are made!

The ring is offered for $6,500.00. This is certainly a chance of a lifetime of collecting. Very few items of that importance are ever found today.

P.S.  The ring was found in the vicinity of Castle Veldenstein where Hermann Goring had sent all of his treasured articles of art and a personal memento for safe keeping until the surrender was accomplished. He always thought that the Allies would negotiate terms that would be expected by opposing sides in the end of a war. Goring was a military man all the way whose perceptions of war were born in the chivalry that was practiced in the air war of WWI. He could not conceive of the unabashed savagery that was practiced by the Nuremburg Tribunal toward the vanquished leaders of the German Nation.  (Please by all means read the book “Advance to Barbarism” This book is a concise exposure of the injustice and hypocrisy of the Nuremberg trails.  If you don’t order the book on Amazon at least read critique of Fredrick J. Veale’s book by James E. Egolf.  The book not only clears up the criminality of the Tribunal itself but it is a warning about the fact that the author does more than skewer the judicial outrages of the trials of the Germans and their Allies. He shows that these trials by demonizing the defeated and refusing into evidence the crimes of the victors. This abolished the traditional code that had ruled European warfare for centuries. At Nuremberg the international military tribunal established unknowingly a situation and precedence that would make future warfare worse for non-combatants by dividing warring nations into good (us) and evil (them)).

No other books revealed the hypocrisy and hatred espoused by the so-called glorious allies in such a recalling light, every word and passage penned by the author completely refutes the imbecilic position that is taken by the uneducated that this was a “just retribution”.  Let us give you an example of the blatant hypocrisy at Nuremberg. The Germans who invaded Poland were grilled ‘war criminals’ but the Soviet’s who invaded it were not. Even though subsequent investigation proves that the Russians were responsible for the horrible massacre at Katyn and numerous other atrocities -- almost all the charges levied against the Germans were based on such flawed legal reasoning. Read it! Please read it. It is bound to influence your thinking and probably will dispel much of the Orwellian concepts that you might have had up to now.

If you have ever wanted to have an item that is vastly important to history and, yes, so infinitely personal this, my collector friends, is it!

DESCRIPTION: This is a ring in silver that bears the full family crest of Hermann Wilhelm Goring who at the time of its designing was the Minister President in the German State of Prussia and of the Reich. This was in the early years of the Third Reich; In July 1940 Hitler promoted Goring to Reichsmarshall Des Grossdeutschen-Reichs, a special rank which made him senior to all Army and Air Force Field Marshals. It also reinforced his status as Hitler’s chosen successor. Goring was known for his extravagant tastes and spectacular clothing. My personal friend the ace Stuka pilot, Hans Ulrich Rudel, recalled twice meeting with Goring when his chief was dressed in elaborate colorful clothing.  First a medieval hunting costume while practicing archery along with his doctor and the second time dressed in a russet toga fastened with a golden clasp, smoking an abnormally large pipe. 

At his opulent estate’ Karinhalle”  in east Prussia he maintained a collection of the finest in art ever assembled outside of the Louvre in Paris or the Hermitage in Russia.  Although an astute statesman and organizer with the rebuilding of Germany’s Air Force to his credit and his diligent work and success in the famed “Four Year Plan”, he was a human dynamo while wearing many ‘hats’. He was involved in almost every project of the Reich agendas; all this can be found on the web if one can wade through the negative propaganda sewn by the victors of WWII and the traditional enemies of the West.  The lies and distortions will of course be rampant, but at least you will be able to learn something about the life and career of this individual who history has called the ‘Last Renaissance Man’.  Goring loved jewelry as well as he did clothing and he had many rings in his personal collection.  They were in all shapes and sizes, but all had some personal features such as examples with the armored arm or the stag’s head that was emblematic of his status as Reich’s Forest Master and Master of the Hunt and that was just one of his many official positions within the Reich. He was very proud of his family crest and was possibly a bit vain when he would present as gifts rings with is family crest as the main design. This ring that we offer is most certainly one of these with not just the crest, which would be the armored arm with a ring clutched in the fist, but the full family crest, as well. This ring is highly detailed and large in proportion as would be the obvious choice of Herr Goring. It is well known that articles in gold were ideologically prohibited in the Third Reich because there had been so many speeches casting admonishments leveled against that particular metal being the “Manna” of the Jews! However Hermann Goring because of his importance within the Reich apparatus was able to defy this logic and he owned and wore many pieces crafted in gold.
