.CLIFF BURTON WOLF RING and METALLICA early years

After many request from METALLICA fans I enclose a little selection from  my
early encounters with CLIFF BURTON
At the time Metallica was a totally unknown band.
The pictures show Cliff handwritten address and signature as well as
his WOLF RING that he traded with me only a few days
before the tragic accident.
CLIFF's wolf ring has the stamp of british hallmark showing that
it was made at the end of 1983, One of the very first ever made
Also included are the handwritten address

from James and autographs of Kirk and Lars.

CRAZY PIG SKUL RING on display at THE BRITISH MUSEUM

In 2003 we were approach by the BRITISH MUSEUM in relation to a

new exhibition titled BURIED TREASURES.

The museum wanted to purchase a SILVER  SKULL RING from us

 to keep in their archives , and to be featured in the section showing

various  skull rings through the centuries.

CRAZY PIG representing modern times..

The display showed eight different skull rings or mortuary rings

Item number EIGHT being a CRAZY PIG skull ring.

I offered to lend the BRITISH MUSEUM one of the best and most fancy

SKULL RING we ever made (platinum ,yellow diamonds and rubies)

but they declined the offer, the reason being that the ring could not be

on loan , it had to property of the museum.

The curator chose a fairly plain skull & cross bones ring

It is a trully great honour for me and CRAZY PIG DESIGNS to have

one of our rings in the archives of THE BRITISH MUSEUM

For obvious reasons the MUSEUM could not advertise the store

name, but interested visitors could enquire and get our details

upon request.
