This

and the size (5) on the band.
The band is also marked "Pat. Aug. 2,'92". It's 5/8" high and has a
12.75 mm diameter opening. It tests sterling silver but is not so marked
This

It's in excellent condition, crisp and in round with no
holes, dents, repairs or other
damage. It has no
monogramming or personalization and is heavy and solid for its small
size.
