I agree with ErichS...I've never seen an AH silver spoon in either the Formal or the Informal Pattern that was as worn as this piece is! These pieces were very well-made with pronounced markings, and to polish away as much of the design as this one shows would take quite a long time...IMO!

While any original piece of Hitler's tableware is a unique artifact, I would only consider adding this piece to my collection if it was so cheap that I couldn't afford NOT to buy it!
