Trying to identify this ring

I picked up this ring that appears to have the Harley logo but I don't know if it really is a Harley ring or someone just made it for themselves. Does anyone recognize it as Harley? It has a copyright emblem and a mark that I can't read with the number 85. I've researched online but can't find anything on it.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

Are you planning on selling it, is that the reason you need the info? I know all there is to know about that ring.

Actually, it is American made. It's NOT an officically licensed HD ring, but a very common ring sold at rallies and on eBay. They usually come with turquoise chips, this one is filled with a black enamel. They sell for between $8 to $15, depending on what stand you see them at. They are cheaply made, and junk.

Franklin Mint has made a number of HD rings. Might be one of those.

Craftelady, I found one of the Turquoise rings on eBay, you can contact the seller to tell you more info on the manufacturer. It looks likes he's sold a few in the past.
