Hi. I want to buy some AH and HG silverware. I've been offered these pieces. Honestly, looking at the detail and silver markings as well as quality, they may have a chance. Do you agree? I know these items are heavily faked and this is a minefield, but at least on this ones I have good vibes. I just need some opinions to make a decision. Any help would be really welcome! Thanks in advance!

No luckily they are not faked at all....(AH) yet.
These are original...if a little over polished.
Göring engraved examples are faked endlessely and not worth risking.Comment

dont pay any more than 1000 euros each on the AH pieces. That is the highest anyone should currently expectComment

The AH pieces look fine. AH silverware has been faked but only teaspoons as of now.Comment

I agree that the three examples of the AH Formal Pattern -- the 'State Service' -- are beautiful and genuine, but the Göring pieces are not identified in James Yannes' "Encyclopedia of Third Reich Tableware," and that gives me concern. Indeed, many of the TR luminaries received gifts of personalized silverware over the years -- perhaps all of them did -- so it is very difficult to ascertain which pieces are "original to the period" and which are not. Provenance is important when dealing with these sorts of pieces, but in the end, they are unique and not established as known patterns.

Goring memorabilia is the most faked personality items in all Third Reich material. You can find his coat of arms on anything from toilet paper to Mercedes. It's a joke.
Stay away from all of it.Comment

Hello. The book "Encyclopedia of the Third Reich Tableware," is very bad. Much of the cutlery shown in this book are fake. The book introduces collectors in error. There are shown well-known and popular funniest items. This unique items in most fakes.Comment
