I know zero about rings but do you think the original owner had the ring totally fabricated from scratch or did he modify an existing ring? Thanks!
Heritage did a nice job showing the manufacturer's engraving on the inside band of the Superbowl XIII ring. I have pictures of a player's ring to compare, and I have found that the markings are identical. This means the Superbowl XIII ring was really made by Jostens and the ring is real. I believe is was modified with the name Edwards, a jersey number and position. The ring was probably originally a salesman sample.

Chris Ivy, in an email to me around a week ago, agreed with my opinion.

I believe the super bowl X ring was a real ring too, and my opinion is it was modified with the name "Edwards" added to it.
