Hi,

A Finnish charity was selling this ring for a while

http://www.rautasormus.fi/suljettu.html

Does anyone know if they are still available? My Finnish is not so good. It is a present for my Grandad's 90th birthday - he fought in the war (on the UK side

)and I think he would find it interesting at least.....

Thanks for any help!

It was campaign item and now period during which it was available has ended. I would guess that only method to get one would be to find it for sale in some kind of auction, flea market or similar.

It was limited series of 30 000 or so rings sold. It at least appears they were original ones which were not used during WW2. Ring was given to people who donated their golden wedding etc rings to Finland for purpose of being melted into gold which was to be used for purchase of air defense materiel.

(just curious)

Is that a 'buy now'...? 50 euros? How much do they normally go for?

To the OP - I'd snap that up if you're interested.

Fast googling tells me 50e was original price so seller isnt trying to get profit. And yes its buy it now price.
