[Peter Wiking]

Here is something that has to be of interest to all RK collectors.

[George Stimson]

This would also be of interest to Imperial collectors, so I'll copy it to their Forum.

[Sonderkommando]

Interesting, but I've seen this before.

Note all the "925" hallmarks for german silver....must be fake

[Seiler]

Note no Gahr??
Plus interesting "Jakob Grimminger"
Seiler.

Vielen Dank!!!!!!! Dankeschön!!! Doumo Arigatou-gozaimasu!!

Peter,

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have an 835 silver schnapps cup engraved with :

Luftwaffe Eagle
I./J.G. 26
27.9.39 - 31.12.39



A bit of research showed me it was to a member (crew? maintenance? janitor???) of the Schlageter Squadron and the dates coincide with it's transition from Odendorf to Dortmund, during the Sitzkreig. http://www.feldgrau.com/JG26.htm

The maker's mark on the bottom is now identified as Wilhelm Binder -- thanks to your post.



I had contacted a couple of German silversmithing houses and they couldn't find this maker -- I had given up.

Again, thank you very much
