Wedding ring worn by actor Don S. Davis as “George Hammond” throughout his eight-season run on Stargate SG-1. Hammond’s wife died of cancer before the inception of the Stargate program, according to Jack O’Neill in Season One’s “Tin Man”. Hammond was one month from retirement when Apophis invaded Cheyenne Mountain Complex through the Stargate. This prompted him to become leader of the new Stargate Command organization, a position he held with distinction for eight years before being transferred to Washington D.C. The character, like his real life counterpart, died of a heart attack. Production immortalized Mr. Davis’s contributions to the series by naming one of their space ships after his character.
