Looks similar to the mark of Jakob Lenz Nachfolger (Jakob Lenz Successors) of Pforzheim listed in a German 1924 Jeweler's Yearbook I have.

Thank you very much! Sometimes the mark is with the letter F and then a Star..Sometimes I see just the F star by themselves on a 1940s ring,,anything in your book on that?? Thanks again! , G.

The "F" & star mark (in a rounded rectangle) is listed in the same 1924 Yearbook as that of F. Frey & Co. of Pforzheim, Jewelry & Silverware manufacturers.

Well hope everyone has been having a good holiday.

Some follow up questions..On the rings that have BOTH of the jewelers marks,,why would this be??
Were these 2 firms retailers or just manufactures?
thank you , G.
