A South Korean soldier gave this sterling skull ring to my dad while he was in Korea during the war.

Dad said he thought the soldier made the ring.

Nice trench art ring. Have you tested it to be sterling, or is it marked? Here is a brass version that recently sold for $40 on ebay.

That's how I knew it was trench art. I found a 1944 Naples ring a couple years ago. I love trench art because it's a connection to a soldier. Kinda like love tokens have a connection with loved ones.
