Death head ring
Hi guys, what do you think of this ring?
Is it a period piece? The seller says it's a canteen ring. What does this term mean?

Hi guys and thanks for your replies.
No other markings visible. The one on the reverse is JC? I can't make it out.
Was this worn by panzer soldiers or ss?

it could have been worn by anyone that had the cash,,including civilians..
A wartime Romanian mark is a specific looking mark, not 2 letters,,and they are very rare indeed..
