here's my ring found in an old trench by a metal detectorist in ukraine. it was almost certainly made in the trenches due to its imperfect construction and by nature of literally being from a trench. it makes me kinda sad he cleaned it up this much (i'm guessing via electrolysis? he has a big shop and that's quicker) and i wouldn't have bought it for (OCCASIONAL) wear if it wasn't already both removed from the dig site with no notes on context and likely cleaned with aggressive measures, but it was, and it's not like i can undo that lol. so, cool belt ring

the guy also threw in two free buttons of which i believe the left is prussian or german and the right is russian (tho it may be austro-hungarian, but i'd bet russian judging by the basically illegible print on the back which resembles cyrillic if you squint)? i admittedly know jack shit about uniform buttons and this is my best guess after 30 minutes of research. also this guy seems to travel a lot so i have no clue which battlefield any of this was taken from aside from somewhere on the eastern front. incredibly cool regardless!
