The plate looks ok but i have never seen a Waffen SS marked folk before the normal ones i have seen are SS Reich marked like the plate

Thanks! Same seller on both pieces, so maybe the fork is also ok.
Anyone on the fork?

Yeah that fork is strange plate OK made by a maker that made them. I used to have a Luft plate made by that same maker however most Luft at least are made by a Bavarian maker. timothy

Sorry, but I dont like either of the items. The fork; never, ever seen that font nor design of fork before. The style of the fork looks post-war.
The plate is a bit better, but I dont like it beacuse of the 'ch' of Reich is touching, and I never seen the font of the date like this. Could even be a original post-war military Bauscher plate, that has the SS Reich 1940 screen-printed on and has been rebaked.

From what I have learned here over the years the fork is a fantasy piece, the "Waffen" lettering seems very odd. For the plate a microscopic analysis is the only way to tell...

Best,

The Waffen SS marking on the fork shows no patina in the lettering. I would hazard a guess and say that the fork is perhaps period but the Waffen marking is not. The plate...the same thing. Old plate-newly applied markings.

Both modern pimping IMHO.

Ok thanks!
I think I'll pass on these, can't get a good feeling.

Well, if it is the period fork and engraving is added after - can someone expalin how it was technically made? Waffen-SS is not engraved but die strucked. Original or not but my opinion is that the fork and Waffen-SS engraving are from the same period.
