Re: fallschirmjager dinner spoon set
Hi Ewan, sorry but to be brutally honest I an not keen on them.
The big problem with anything like this is they are essentially "one off's" at best if original.
My concern is the silver solder looks new and not oxidised where the insignia is affixed.
There is a roaring trade in flea markets in Europe where fakers buy any old silverware and then add bogus inscriptions, dedications or peices of insignia to turn them into something new....
The insignia is certainly made from a stick pin.
I don't know what you paid for these, but I would advise you to at least try and get your money back.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: fallschirmjager dinner spoon set
Hi Ewan, I really wish I could be more positive for you. I cannot say with 100% certainty about these. But my general advice would be to steer clear of exotic items like these. They are just too easy to make up.
The badge to me looks like it was a Luftwaffe cap eagle going by the holes to the lid.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: fallschirmjager dinner spoon set
One would expect the insigna and the spoon being like casted in one forme with the spoon.
I would also say a post war faked item.

Re: fallschirmjager dinner spoon set
pierre the solder around the insignia on these para chappies is like yours in hand the scans make it like i just done it. but i am not really convinced as when looking at the maker and the silver plate 90 mark they tie in with the spoon but the insignia just doesnt mach the spoons and the marks. may i please see the back side of your silverware? also i have seen these style of knifes before as in with the step down pieces the shape at the end with and without nazi marks this is what throws me. its just one of those items that will keep you???
sorry if you or google translator cannot understand what i say but it is 4:30
thanks guys.

Re: fallschirmjager dinner spoon set
Hi Ewan, thanks for the extra pics.
The size differential could be due to casting shrinkage.
Cheers, Ade.
