German .835 Silver, Full Heraldic Relief, Oval Bezel
This exceptional ring is struck in .835 German silver and features the complete formal family crest of Hermann Wilhelm Göring, the Reichsmarschall of Nazi Germany and Minister President of the State of Prussia. The design is presented in bold, high-relief sculptural detail, and the ring is hallmarked “.835” on the interior band—consistent with wartime German silver standards.
The ring’s oval bezel is engraved around the outer edge with the inscription:
“REICHSMARSCHALL H. GÖRING – MINISTERPRÄSIDENT”
At the center of the bezel sits a raised armorial device comprising the full Göring family crest:
An armored fist clutching a marshal’s baton, rising from a crowned helmet
Imperial eagles flanking the central emblem
A stag and lion representing Göring’s positions as Master of the Hunt and Reichsforstmeister
A Maltese cross anchoring the base
While many known Göring rings depict only partial elements (e.g., the stag’s head or the armored fist), this rare example displays the complete heraldic device, aligning with Göring’s well-known preference for richly symbolic personal adornments.
In July 1940, Adolf Hitler promoted Hermann Göring to the unique rank of Reichsmarschall des Großdeutschen Reichs, making him Germany’s highest-ranking officer and Hitler’s formal successor. Göring held overlapping military, industrial, and cultural roles, including as head of the Four Year Plan, commander of the Luftwaffe, and Reich Minister of Aviation.
Notorious for his lavish tastes, Göring maintained a vast personal art collection at Carinhall, wore elaborate ceremonial attire, and commissioned personalized rings and gifts as tokens of status and favor. He was known to wear and distribute numerous rings featuring hunting and military iconography.
This ring likely falls into the category of personalized presentation pieces, either worn by Göring himself or gifted to senior associates. Experts familiar with the motif suggest that rings of this nature were custom commissioned by Göring, reflecting both his vanity and his use of personal heraldry to convey rank and legacy.
Known Comparables: There are twelve documented gold rings bearing similar inscriptions with inlaid crests; however, these are low-relief and lack the sculptural depth seen here.
Silver Version Rarity: No confirmed silver reproductions of this pattern are currently known, making this piece a potentially unique or undocumented variant.
This ring bears the proof mark of master silversmith Herbert Zeitner, whose Berlin-based workshop was officially contracted by the Third Reich to produce presentation-grade jewelry and regalia for top Nazi leadership.
Zeitner is known to have produced ceremonial pieces for Göring, including personal rings and hunting insignia. Rings originating from his workshop are characterized by precise casting, sculptural depth, and exceptional detail—all of which are present in this example. Zeitner’s proof mark further confirms the ring’s origin as a high-grade ceremonial or diplomatic item, not a commercial or postwar copy.
While this ring’s provenance remains unconfirmed, its craftsmanship, materials, iconography, and scale are all consistent with authentic ceremonial and presentation rings associated with Göring’s inner circle.
Material: .835 German silver (hallmarked)
Ring Size: Approx. 12–13 (estimated)
Markings: Stamped “.835” on inner band
Condition: Excellent; crisp detailing, strong edge relief, no modern alterations
Provenance: Unconfirmed; stylistically consistent with period Göring presentation pieces
