thank you, AR8Jason :)
The two rings with the grapes and leaves Black Hills, and the one on the third row up all the way to the right. That skull ring is your best piece here, its probably a fraternity or Masonic or something like that. If that LOF pin has a real diamond, its made of gold. Probably another fraternity or initials or something
yes the service pin with a diamond is marked 10k too on the back
nice collection!
