Small Two-Heart Silver Ring

[Red River Campaign 1864]

Found this while relic hunting a Civil War campsite area in South Louisiana, recently! Good strong high 80s on my ATMAX! Appears to be silver but very thin! The two-hearts look to be hand engraved! Ornate ring design but broken! Any ideas what it might be would be greatly appreciated!

It looks like it may be a trade silver ring, possibly a Luckenbooth? But I'm far for an expert. I'm sure that others with more knowledge will chime in.

It's very old regardless, and hand-crafted.

Excellent photo! If only this ring could talk what a story it could tell...

Thanks for the information! Looks very similar to some of the rings on the link! It's almost flattened so I can not see the inside of the ring! So fragile don't want to damage it!
