I am starting a new thread here.
Yesterday this ring was shown on 007.com but disappeared now.
IMO the octopus engraving looks really off and Silver is a problematic material as it will tarnish when being put into a collection.
Has anyone ordered one yet?

The engraving looks more like these hideous rings on ebay - too wide

SPECTRE Production Designer Dennis Gassner worked with Key Graphic Designer Laura Grant to create a more up-to-date version of the octopus logo bringing the ring into the 21st century. This was then produced by James Enright and his team at Propshop, the company that worked on many Bond films providing models and props.
The replica rings are produced in exactly the same way as the on-screen versions. The concept design is 3D modelled embedding the famous octopus logo. This model is refined and 3D printed in wax. This is then cast in silver, art-worked and carefully finished by hand.
The beautifully crafted silver ring is uniquely presented, emerging from the signature gun barrel graphic, displayed with its very own certificate of provenance.

Seems strange the page has gone completely too. Pulled for some reason??
I agree the logo looks a little fat to be screen accurate, but it seems to match the pics of the ring being touted around as the original prop on display.
As in a gift made for the crew? That would tie in with what David said above then and perhaps this has been pulled as they have inadvertently passed of copies of a non film used item as the original prop. Speculation of course.
David,
I was going to order one myself but was concern about shipping - recently I got bad experience with DHL holding my package ransom unless I paid up $120 "fee". BTW, if you get the same stuff via FedEx or Royal Mail there is no such "fee". So no more DHL shiping for me. Anyway, I wrote to 007.com and have not heard back and now its gone
Could you please confirm with me how 007.com deliver their products to USA?
Thank you -{
PropShop made the cast/crew rings given away as gifts.
If it were sold out, I'd imagine a proud "sold out" mention on the page. It being completely removed makes one suspicious... Perhaps David / Mantis will know more on Monday.
which seller did you purchase this from?
It's OK for a chromed goodness-knows-what-base-material for the price, but Kan's proper stainless steel one is better. Nice version of the octopus logo though.
Material is silver
agree on both points. it's not SA.

I don't like how Kan's Octopus logo looks though, which is why I chose that one I have from ebay, no offense to him.

I just did this to mine - ok - not so great, but it was only 2 mins with a file and my rough driveway - nothing handy at this time.
Anyway, my ring was meant for these customization by their owners. There may be some slight paint overfilled, but will come off easily with these conditioning to get it closer to screen used. Just be careful, if you are getting those plated stuffs from other though - the plating is really brittle. Throwing those rings hard onto the floor may even crack the plating - but that will be fine with my ring as it is solid stainless steel :-)
Again - first quick attempt - will try later for better result and better pictures
