    Luftwaffe Rings

    Here are some rings that were worn by Luftwaffe pilots that for some reason I find interesting. Most of the pictures Ive found through the years on Ebay.

    Micdrow, I'm assuming that these are pics of rings - you don't actually own these? The individual Jagdgeschwader rings are fascinating!

    I just found this ring on ebay today. Its starting bid is for $100, most of them go for a couple of hundred dollars. Ive seen some of the more common ones go for as little as $20. Depends on the rariety and the materials its made from. I beleive the one below could be for I/St.G. 1

    I have no idea Wurger, as far as I know this is the largest collection of luftwaffe ring pictures around in any format. I would love to find out more but have had no luck so far. Its kind of a side project I work on from time to time.

    To be honest I didn't think people would be to interested in this subject, here are some more pictures that I have on Luftwaffe rings.

    1. Luftwaffe pilot observer ring
    2. Luftwaffe ground personel ring
    3. Luftwaffe Navigator ring
    4. Last ones are unknown at this time.

    I think we would have to ask about it some Luftwaffe eksperten who are still alive.
    But taking the other background rings into consideration it is possible.

    Maybe a question that Erich could ask one of his friends of the Luftwaffe, I unfortuently dont know any of them.
