This ring puzzles me, as it's old!
Can't read the 3 hallmarks.
Can you guess them possibly?
Oh, such a hard time to take photo of it!
Why the eagle?
Added are two stones? Which ones?
It rings a bell, but as can
not remember, please help...

Odd ring. It has the colors red, white and blue and somewhat looks like a screaming eagle. Perhaps it has a military meaning to someone in the 101st Airborne. Could also be a harley davidson take off.
Thanks FH!
I did think that red and blue with sterling as white, are the American colours!!!
Perhaps military too! 101st Airborne?
Also thought about harley Dividson I did too!
How about Scouts?
Navajo indian eagle ring ? It looks a lot like the rings and jewlery I saw when I traveled through NM and AZ in 50's and 60's sold by native American Indians , Very nice ring Love it !
Must be my computer monitor. On my screen the eagle appears red, white and blue and the main part of the ring silver. Regardless, it is a pretty ring.
Thanks FH!
I took many, many photos, but this is the only which is not blurred too much!
The silver to me, acts like white!
The eagle doesn't fit with a 101st identification.
An interesting ring.
Scott
Thanks Manikin!
You might be right!
Maybe First Nation one!
Like Navajo!
Maybe I saw you in New Mexico then in those years?
Oh, you sure Scott?
May I ask...
Certain.
Ask away...
Ok, thanks Scott!
You wonder if this guy was important?
I don't understand your question.
If it were 101st, I would expect it to have the 101st patch eagle or "Screaming Eagle" which is associated with the Division. An eagle in flight/ landing is not readily associated with the Division.
I collect 101st related items.
Scott
Oh, now I know Scott!
So what do you think is this one?
The bottom metal is nearly not silver anymore... so was it lost?
or too much used?
The oval silver is perfect or so still!!!
So is the eagle silver near mint or mint!
What a puzzle?
