Judging by the style, I'd say neither one. Isn't that a Cobra head?

I have been looking at this alot and Cobra was one possibility. Here is a pick of the hallmarks. HH

I was actually thinking it was a Niello style Siam (Thai) made ring but now I'm not so sure. I can't make heads or tales of that mark though. It almost looks like an old Mexican Eagle mark but not quite. Then the other marks?? Interesting. I hope someone can shine some light on it.

Whem I saw 2 hallmarks I had to buy it for $8 . I just had a feeling it was old and signed by the silversmith

It's a cool ring regardless. Shouldn't have trouble making that back or more with the right buyer.. let alone the value the hallmark may add.

I don't know but those hallmarks sure do look important, haha !!

Keep @ it and HH !!

I just listed it today, so lets see what happens.

Definitely mexican. Definitely an eagle mark. Can't read the the other mark. Circa 1970s. If I was listing it, I would go buy it now.
