Doing some more digging into this one, I was wondering by the shape of the eye sockets if this would have had glass "gems" set into the ring (as I've seen on some other canteen ring examples). Probably?

Excellent, thanks for your assessment! It's two piece construction indeed, but this one may be soldered, or the rivet hole just polished over and plated - hard to tell. This one has retained most of its silver (or nickel?) wash, except for the high spots and the band, though you can see where the plating is bubbling and lifting here and there. Glad to have found this one!
Once again, many thanks!!

The shiny coating might be chrome. It won‘t be silver.

I think that's probably correct. I saw a near identical ring (I think it was on WRF?) where the owner mentioned it was possibly a nickel plating. But seeing the way it's lifting away from the base metal in places, that's definitely how chrome acts with age. Good eye, and thanks again for yet more good info!
