SOLD>>>
Up for sale is an antique ring brought to the U.S. in 1945, from Iraq. A competent jeweler friend of mine has told me that it is pure silver, with an 18kt gold face.
It is hand engraved with a scene of a man riding a camel in a desert landscape. It also has 'IRAQ' imprinted on one side (near the top/face), and '1942' on the other side. My father brought this back from WWII, where he was stationed in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. It is just one of many, many items I inherited of his.. and has no real family 'sentimental' value, as Dad never wore it.
Irregardless of its' precious metal content, it is definitely a one-of-a-kind piece, and well worth at least 3 times my asking price. Pretty much a 'museum' type piece. It is approx size mens 10 (fits my pinkie; my ring finger size is mens 12).
I am asking $35 shipped, via USPS Priority Mail. If you require insurance... please add $3. I will accept payment of well-concealed cash or USPS money order. I cannot yet post 'attachments' here at INGO, but you can view pics in my -FOR SALE- album, in my profile here.
