The 1996 WLAF season was the fourth World League of American Football (WLAF) season, and its second season under a six-team all-European format. The Scottish Claymores, led by head coach Jim Criner in his second year, finished the regular season in first place with a 7–3 winning record, and beat the Frankfurt Galaxy 32–27 in World Bowl '96. The victory marked Scotland's first World Bowl championship, in its second active season.
This lot offers a 1996 Scottish Claymores World Bowl IV 10K gold ring. It was issued to the team's operations manager whose last name was "Kerr." The top of the ring features the following text in raised relief circling the World League logo and a large diamond: "WORLD LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 1996." One shank reads:
"KERR" and "STAFF" positioned around the Claymores team logo, while the other shank reads: "CLAYMORES SCOTLAND 96 WORLD BOWL Murray Field 23 June." The interior band is engraved "BALFOUR 10K." A prized piece of jewelry commemorating the league's fourth season in existence.
