Extremely Rare WWII German POW Souvenir Ring From Camp Lee 1944

I'm not sure how many German prisoners of war interned at Camp Robert E. Lee in South Petersburg, Virginia felt the desire to purchase a sterling silver souvenir ring to commemorate their stay at the camp in 1944, but some enterprising school ring company thought it was worth a try, and they sold at least one, because here it is! High School graduation style ring with generic military eagles on each side, with a large central seal depicting a Germanic Eagle (actually VERY much like the Tyrolean eagle depicted on Nazi period shooting badges) with 1944 above. Around the seal it reads: GERMAN PRISONERS OF WAR CAMP LEE USA. Nice old patina and moderate wear. A very interesting, and rare artifact from WWII POW Camps. Camp Lee had been a training facility before and during World War I and then had been turned in to a state game preserve. It was reconstructed for World War II and used as a Quartermaster Replacement Training Center and School. After the war the facility was renamed Fort Lee.

Circa 1944 (World War II).
