I'm desperate.
Long story short, I have this weird spoon... And the spoon has German words engraved in it. So I'm like, okay. I've read it all. Weird. At the bottom it has "EK 1257" (the 5 could be omitted, but it looks like it might be there when I shine the light a certain way.)
EK stands for Einsatzkommando, I believe. It fits in with the context of what is written on the spoon. What do the numbers mean? Were numbers ever attached to individual soldiers? Is that a division number? Suggestions?
