Hermann Göring Ministerial Crest Ring – .835 Silver, Raised Seal Variant
German .835 Silver, Full Heraldic Relief, Oval Bezel
This exceptional ring is struck in .835 German silver and features the complete family crest of Hermann Wilhelm Göring, the influential Reichsmarschall of Nazi Germany and Minister President of the State of Prussia during the early years of the Third Reich. The ring is marked “.835” on the interior band and reflects Göring’s well-documented taste for grandeur, formality, and personal heraldry.
The ring’s bezel bears the inscription “REICHSMARSCHALL H. GÖRING – MINISTERPRÄSIDENT” around a finely sculpted full armorial device. At the center, a raised armored fist clutches a baton, rising from a crowned helmet and flanked by imperial eagles, a stag and lion, and a Maltese cross at the base—all key elements of Göring’s formal family crest.
While many rings associated with Göring feature only the armored fist or stag’s head—emblems tied to his roles as Master of the Hunt and Reichsforstmeister—this example showcases the entire family heraldry in bold, high-relief form, aligning with his known appreciation for dramatic and symbolic personal items.
Historical Context
In July 1940, Adolf Hitler promoted Göring to the unique rank of Reichsmarschall des Großdeutschen Reichs, positioning him as the highest-ranking officer in the armed forces and Hitler’s formal successor. Göring was as renowned for his flamboyant public persona as for his central role in Germany’s military and industrial administration. He presided over the Four Year Plan, rebuilt the Luftwaffe, and held multiple overlapping titles across government, party, and state functions.
Known for his opulence, Göring maintained a vast art collection at his East Prussian estate, Carinhall, said to rival the Louvre and Hermitage. He famously wore elaborate costumes—hunting outfits, togas, and regal attire—and adorned himself with a wide variety of rings, many of which bore personal symbols or were gifted to close confidants.
Ring Significance
This ring likely falls into a category of personalized presentation pieces, either made for Göring himself or gifted to trusted associates. Experts familiar with the pattern suggest such rings were commissioned by Göring as tokens of favor, reflecting both his authority and his penchant for grand personal symbolism.
There are twelve known facsimile rings bearing similar inscriptions, but those are all produced in gold, and feature inlaid crests, not the high-relief design seen here. As of this writing, there are no confirmed silver reproductions of this pattern.
While provenance on this specific piece is unconfirmed, its materials, scale, iconography, and detail are wholly consistent with documented ceremonial and presentation rings linked to Göring’s inner circle. It is offered as a historically significant artifact and priced accordingly given the known facsimiles of the gold version of the ring.
