First Starlingear Ring!

[DrOpPoInT1110]

I've been jonesing for a Starlingear ring for a while now and never seemed to be able to find one in my size for a good deal. I just couldn't bring myself to drop the coin on a new one. I had almost given up on looking and then about a week and a half ago I stumbled across this bad boy for sale on another forum. To top it all off, its a Spitfire which is one of my favorite designs. These have been discontinued for a while so I was very lucky to find this one. It came all the way from Italy so I just got it yesterday but I already love this thing. Very nicely made just like my Starlingear bead but a heavy S.O.B. at 2 oz! This one is from a "ring of the month" run and has a special lucky 7 horse shoe stamp on the shank. It also has a number 9 stamped below that but I'm not sure of the significance of it. The ring is a size 10 so I don't think its a size stamp. Maybe one of you guys will know. Just wanted to post up some pics for you guys and see if anyone knows the mystery of the 9. I'll be wearing this awesome piece proudly!

Thanks. They look huge on just about anyone unless you have some serious meat hooks. I wear a large/xl glove so I dont have small hands but ive seen some dudes at shows who make them look almost like wedding bands haha. As for price, id rather get a nice custon for the cost of a new one but if you can get one for $450 or less in good condition, id say go for it.

Nice score! I recently got my first Starlingear as well, a Delta Kaze in copper (pics on the other forum)
I had similar reservations about dropping that kind of money, but for something I'm going to keep and wear for years to come I think I can justify the cost.
Wear it in good health brother!

After getting this one and seeing some of the Starlingear videos on what goes into making them, I can definitely understand the cost better. Just saw your pics of that Delta Kazi- big congrats! I definitely have to say, the Delta Kazi is one of my top three favorite designs.
