[shells]

hello

anyone know what exactly is the name of the cutlery? and where and when it was used? thanks

I don't like them, and I don't believe they are genuine...............!

Hi Shells, welcome to the forum. I certainly agree with Steve. Old silverware with modern double stylus engraving. You can clearly see where the engraving goes through the tarnished spots. The tarnish magically disappears from the engraved letters.

'SS-Reich' ( 'SS-Nation' ) does not make any sense either...........

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

SS Reich marked cutlery was used in canteens and is perfectly genuine. However, these shown are, as already stated, are old items with modern engraving.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Shells, as Ade said, there are large quantities of legitimate cutlery, china, and everyday items with the SS Reich markings. However, there is strong evidence on the cutlery you posted, that the engraving was added recently to increase it's value. Most importantly, note the clean, sharp, untarnished portions of the engraving. In my mind, I'm 100% convinced the engraving was applied post 1945. I'm only giving you my humble opinion. If you believe the engraving is original, by all means, you are free to purchase them.

Take care,
Jay

some are stamped colse to the end , others are farther away from the end, hammer and a stamp are nice but he needs a ruler

There are many similar fakes on the market. It is modern engraving, faker was too lazy to do propper job.
