Ring With Eagles on it. Any help appreciated.

[EC.Mason]

I found this today at an old home. It has an eagle on the front and one on each side. Not sure what it is. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

WWII Military ring. Looks to be in good condition.

Predates Air Force & should have wings & a prop if it's Air Corps. No Eagle Globe & Anchor so I'm betting US Army (looks like their bird).

Thanks for the replys everyone. Fellas, thanks. How can you tell its WW2?

Found a ring very similar to yours on Snyders Treasures, identified as a US WW1 Air Service ring. Main difference is the one on that website is sterling with some enamel on it but the design is very close. If I can come up with additional info on it I'll post it here.

I think this is the ring Mirage found on Snyders, sure looks to be the same design!!

Good job Mirage!!

Edit, or maybe this is the on Mirage found, it fits the enamel description better.

cool. I believe it's WW1 era. not sure about air corps or not

It's WWII.

All branches used the same style ring with different emblems on the face. It's Army! Not Air Corps, Marines, Navy or Coast Guard.

HERE'S MINE FROM THIS YEAR

It's WWII.

Not sure I concur in that one. The WWII rings are more ornate, have more detailed features than the ring EC found. The rings AU Seeker found in searching more closely resemble the ring in the OP, same one I came across trying to identify it.

No matter, very cool find!

Maybe it is a ring issued to Polish submarine crews!

I believe the eagle tells the story. (at least it does for Quartermaster Corp) WW1and before, the eagle's head is down. WWII and later the eagle's head is more in an upright position. You do find some WWII items with the head down as the jewellers reused the dies to save cost.
