    Aimathena

    I inherited this ring when I was 15, along with my Daddy's guitar, Leather Harley Davidson hat and his monogrammed Bible.
    I still have every one of them. I have them in a display case, which is mounted on the wall. I would love to know more about his ring.

    Here's some information my dear friend walksoftly found.
    The Wyvern symbol looks so similar to the symbol on my father's ring.
    A golden wyvern is believed to have been the symbol of the medieval kingdom of Wessex
    A wyvern /?wa?v?rn/, sometimes spelled wivern, is alegendary winged creature with a dragon's head, which may be said to breathe fire or possess a venomous bite, a reptilian body, two legs (sometimes none), and a barbed tail. A sea-dwelling variant, termed the sea-wyvern, has a fish tail in place of a barbed dragon's tail. The wyvern in its various forms is important to heraldry, frequently appears as a mascot of schools and athletic teams (chiefly in the United States and United Kingdom), and occasionally appears in medieval and modern European and British literature as well as a multitude of video games.

      Wyvern???

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyvern

      Read the part on logo or mascot.

      So nice that you have these pieces that you inherited from your dad.

      Omgosh WS xoxox you are the BEST!!! What a fascinating read. in particular the medieval link. I love that. This ring has been in my family for over 30 years old. Honestly, I've never thought to research my belongings until joining CW. Thank you so much!! You are the #1 googler.

      Aim, What a BEAUTIFUL Ring! I think mine must be a relative of yours. A rearing Lion, facing a different direction, but so similar too! Gives me an idea of what my ring may have looked like before the years of extreme wear.
      I also love learning about the Wyvern,...............absolutely fascinating! Thanks to David, from whom kindness flows.
      Yes, it's beautiful, Thanks again and Merry Christmas!
