3rd REICH Dishes I found - Wasnt sure where to post

[cmjordan77]

Hi,
I need some help, I found these 3rd REICH dishs yesterday at an estate sale. The elderly woman I bought them from told me her husband got these when he was in Europe WW2. Here is how the story goes. A GERMAN NAVAL unit took over a NORWEIGN ship. The German navy had some of these dishes on this ship. The CUPS and SAUCERS have a name on the bottom, Porsgrunn Norge on the backs of the Coffee cups and Saucers. On the back of the 2 bowls is stamped Koenigszelt. The 2 small bowls have I think LUFTWAFFE eagles, but there are 2 ROMAN looking boats behind the Luftwaffe eagle I googled, the Koenigszelt and I found 1 other water pitcher with the exact same logo. The PORSGRUNN NORGE is a NORWEIGN Name or place in NORWAY. So this leads me to believe the ladies story was 100% true. I know nothing about GERMAN stuff. Let me know what you all think. I think they are really neat. All of them are perfect except the 1 small bowl is broken and was glued together. The other ones are perfect and not crack, chip.
Can anyone tell me what the stuff may be worth? or any additional information?



FYI, I am trying to figure out how to post the photos of the stuff.
Bear with me please
Thank you

sorry

I will have the photos uploaded in a few more hours
Sorry, I am trying to get signed up on a photo site to load them.

All you have to do is become a paid member and you can post without using a photo site.

re:

The only thing, I dont collect much WW2 German stuff.
I just became a member a long time back, and I cant find anyone who can help me.
I actually forgot I registered to a photo site and I am currently trying to get the photos uploaded.
The only thing I have currently is my descriptions above.

The cool thing is on each of the bowls, the luftwaffe birds and old Roman boat are on the inside rim of the bowl. I see alot that are plain and the markings are on the underside.
On the cups and saucers the eagle and swastica is pictured on the side of the coffee cups and also its on the top of the saucer. Of course both have their appropriate markings on the underneath.
I will get photos loaded as I want to see if anyone can help me with more information on them. I am so interested in finding more information out on them.
Please check back to my post tomorrow evening and I will have the photos loaded.
Thank you !!

Finally PHOTOS Added -- Can you look & please let me know what I have???

Hi,
finally here are the photos. Can you guys please look and let me know what you think?
I actually tried to sell 1 set - Coffee Cup and Saucer on EBAY, but they kicked the auction item off.
I cant figure it out. They said it was due to 3RD REICH Items and they are not allowed. I thought they were just things like GI Bring back things, stuff like that....












I appreciate any and all information.
Again, from the VETERAN's wife, these dishes were taken from the GERMAN NAVY?? A German naval unit captured a NORWEIGIAN ship. They of course were using the ship and these were some of the dishes on the ship. Now, this is for the 2 Coffee cups and saucers. The other 2 bowls are Luftwaffe, but its kinda weird or Unique that there is a Norweigian looking ship behind the LUFTWAFFE Eagle.

I hope there are some experts on here that can tell me what I have and roughly some sort of value.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you all so much!!!!
