I found this ring while cleaning up in my basement under the stairs. I assume it was from a previous home owner. We’ve been in the house for almost 20 years. I am in Ontario, Canada. It looks like a RCAF logo?

Do you know if the previous home owner was ever a pilot? The ring looks like it has the Royal Canadian Air Cadets insignia on it.

That is one heck of a well worn ring too! I think you might make someone’s day if you are able to locate the previous owner due to the wear on the ring.

It probably belonged to Donald Eugene Ivens.

Good Work, thanks!!
I will see if I can get any info on the previous owner. I’m sure the ring has some sentimental value to them.
