Copper alloy; 5.4gm  --   Ring size 9 1/2

Seller's Note/ This manly man ring is truly "bad ass" and killer cool, O my friends!

Pollio suggests that such signet rings were not used as the owners initial, per se, but rather by a certain guild of merchants in Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Sadly, who such merchants were, and their products, has been lost to time.
