hi guys

a french forum member would like to have more infos about this one please.

as the swastika is a little original, he wants to know if it is Political or Amry etc ?

Thank you

Think it was found in Deutscher Hof hotel chain during the TR era. So not military but what all good teutonic types ate with.

Thank you

Are you thinking about this one ?

As the authenticity is not fully positive please don t hesitate to give opinions.

Thank you

No you are right it is not the same as Deutscher Hof pattern. Honestly don't know then, could be privately made.

I think Simon H is correct that this piece -- shown on notes #1 & 2 -- is most likely from a privately-produced flatware service. I've gone through Jim Yannes' 636-page "Encyclopedia of Third Reich Tableware" and found nothing that matches this piece, though he does corroborate that the piece shown here on note #4 is indeed from Der Deutsche Hof in Nuremberg (p.494-5).

Yannes also provides an example of a spoon bearing an acid-etched swastika and oakleaf surround design similar to the piece on notes #1 & 2 here, but it is not an exact copy of the design nor is the tableware pattern in any way similar to the piece shown here. (Yannes tells us that that piece is from a "high leader's" service, p.134-5.).

As we know, there were literally countless examples of tableware bearing all sorts of monograms and logos made during the TR era; this one seems to be yet another one!

Hi

Thank you guys for these infos.

[Simon H]

Thanks BR. James, so it seems this one is a good one then, from wherever it came from. Nice find.

[Br. James]

Thanks, Simon, and I do agree that this spoon was made during the TR era, though it is yet to be established as to what purpose such a pattern served.

Cheers,

Br. James

Hello. I have a few comments.
1. Mr. Yannes's books are full of fancy cutlery. They are not even fakes. This is pure fantasy. additionally, he ascribes to the known persons from the times of the Third Reich cutlery which have the initials of their first and last names. Very harmful for the publishing collectors.
2. Spoon no. 1 is a fake. The easiest way to make a fake - by soldering the swastika ornament.
