Hi Ladies,

I got the ring last week and it is pretty interesting.

The coat of arms is indeed backwards, so it could be used for creating seals. The sides that go between the fingers are somewhat worn down vs. the sides that face the knuckles-someone obviously cared about this ring and wore it a lot to create the wear pattern. It also has been sized, which usually isn't done with a silver ring as it's just not valuable enough to do it.

wish I knew who the original owner was!
