History / Poland history uprising rings? [7]
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone here can help with a query?
Among a relative's possessions were two matching rings, which look like a man's and a woman's.
They seem to be silver (there is a stamp inside that says '.925' which I think refers to the purity of the silver).
They have a rough texture on the outside and the text "Bohaterom Powstania Warszawskiego" which I think means "Heroes of the Warsaw Uprising". On the other side there is the date of 1944 and the symbol of the uprising. I have photos, but I'm not sure if I can attach them to a post here?
Anyway, I have searched extensively on the internet but can't find any reference to items like this. Can anyone tell me what they are? Do they date from the war or later? Were they a mass-produced item or would they have been made for, or presented to, an individual? Maybe someone who actually took part in the Uprising?
Any ideas gratefully received!
Best Regards
