I had myself a good day [emoji1317]

[Truth]

I have a handful of clad, 2 silver Washington's 1940 & 1943, 4 Wheaties, a Louisiana luxury tax token and one Mississippi sales tax token which is pretty cool. And then last but not least my military sterling silver ring which is obviously missing the stone and I will return to that hole and try to find it. Can anybody help me out on the ring? One side has the go with the rifle's crossing and one side has the eagle and the swords crossing.

I was USMC & collect Marine rings. That has brought me into contact with some U S Army rings. Strange thing about this ring is the fact that the swords are upside down. Normally the crossed swords (denotes cavalry) are shown hilt down, points up, in U S Army. The crossed muskets denote infantry. Maybe a generic style. I have generic USMC rings with the same scroll work near the bottom.

Thanks greenwyvern and thank you so much for your service. It was 8"
deep same as the silver quarters, so the ring is probably from the 40's.

I knew I recognized that hallmark. Have a USMC ring designed by them. It is the Kinney Co. out of Providence RI. Don't know if they are still in business but the address is 14 Blount St. Providence RI. They first used that hallmark in 1934 and was still using it in the 1970s.
They were known for high quality class and military rings as well as other sterling jewelry. I still don't understand why the swords are displayed hilt up instead of hilt down which is the norm. But I'm not an Army guy...That would be something you could research further. Maybe it has a special meaning or belongs to a special Army group. Great find. I would not replace the center piece until I researched more as there may be a certain crown that goes to the two sides. Note that there may have been a crown (probably emblem) surrounded by blue stone. HH

You are the man! I found it on the levee behind a old abandoned boys high school. Could it have been a ROTC ring?
