Description
Unique, 1930's or earlier, heavy, jeweler-made silver ring with pale Jade central stone carved with the image of a Knight. One side of ring has an ornate Chinese dragon, and the other a nicely detailed American Eagle on Stars & Bars shield. Obviously made for the American market, most likely from the 1930's when the US had a Naval and Marine Corps presence in China. Only one I've seen like it. The inside of the ring has an incomplete stamp that reads: "WAS C(?) or O(?)".

CONDITION:7+ (Very Fine+): The ring shows minor to moderate wear, would grade it at 9 but there appears to be a small chip in the jade at top left. Barely detracts, but it tis there.
