Just found this hidden in a opshop today! Cant find much info on the web about it apart from this relating to a similar sounding spoon...

It's an interesting find you have there, the like of which I have never seen before. And having checked through Jim Yannes' recent book on TR Cutlery and Maker Marks, I note that he does not identify this piece, either. The handle is capped by a version of the M-1927 eagle and swaz -- the first such design to be utilized in a wide variety of representations -- and the maker mark is of an old (from the 19th century) silversmithing firm, though I can't identify it further. The spoon is cast in .900 solid silver, which is 9/10 in pure silver content; this is a standard German silver content, slightly less than "sterling," which is .925 pure silver.

Tableware of all sorts was created and given as gifts to big-wig **** leaders on birthdays, anniversaries and numerous other occasions, most often as small sets of six spoons or knives; such sets do not relate to any of the major silverware designs and were probably cast by small jewelers as one-of-a-kind presentations. it would have been very good to have secured some sort of provenance when you purchased this piece -- perhaps a story from a WWII vet who brought it back home and could have mentioned where he picked it up. Hope this is helpful to you; this is indeed a unique piece.





Thought someone on here might have some insight?

 

I can point you in a direction (and for the record, I am not a **** sympathizer). Check around here and try to find a user that you can message for info. I had an old flag that a family member brought back as a souvenir from that war and the person I messaged also made a fair offer. Hope this helps you.

 

 

Aww come on, This guy is actually fair. It's the ***hole Les from hardcore pawn that rapes people blind!!


I've seen the pawn stars guys give people more than what they asked because they didn't know what they had.

 

And btw, Rick doesn't buy ANYTHING **** related.

 

If I found a badass spoon like that I would never sell it, I'd eat crunchberries with it every day.

 

Mmm crunch berries ahhhh ...
