Silver Magnum PI Ring Sterling Silver Cross of Lorraine Ring Size 11 You are bidding on a solid Sterling Silver Cross of Lorraine ring size 11. It's brand new, never been worn. You won't receive the one in the photos, you'll get a new one identical to it. It's made of 925 sterling silver by some of the world's finest craftsmen. In the television series Magnum, P.I., Thomas Magnum and his Vietnam War comrades wear rings with the cross of Lorraine. The Cross of Lorraine is part of the heraldic arms of Lorraine in eastern France. It was originally held to be a symbol of Joan of Arc, renowned for her perseverance against foreign invaders of France. Between 1871 and 1918 (and again between 1940-1944), the northern third of Lorraine was annexed to Germany, along with Alsace. During that period the cross served as a rallying point for French ambitions to recover its lost provinces. This historical significance lent it considerable weight as a symbol of French patriotism. During World War II, the cross was adopted as the official symbol of the Free French Forces under Charles de Gaulle. The flag of Slovakia and the Slovak coat of arms both include the cross of Lorraine. The Hungarian coat of arms also depicts a double cross. The cross is used as an emblem by the American Lung Association and related organizations through the world, and as such is familiar from their Christmas Seals program. Its use was suggested in 1902 as a symbol for the "crusade" against tuberculosis. Winning bidder to pay $2.95 First Class Mail shipping/handling in the US. Insurance is optional and $1.70 extra.
