I concur with the opinions given earlier, neither example appears a genuine piece to me.

"Much that once was, is lost. For none now live who remember it."
I can tell you I ended up with a few faked silverware items when I was younger, they were Straight from Germany and also were the same "Alpacca" marking on the underside, which was a German silver company from what I understood but 1960's as I recall. Also they were just silver plated, not sterling. 80 proof or so.
"Alpacca" is not a company. It is another name for being silver plated.
An item is either versilbert or alpacca.....
Personally I think the plate is okay.
They are not high cost items, and it wouldn't be worth the time to fake these.
Unless of course, the obverse has some wartime significant decoration or scene, then the price skyrockets...
This pattern of "SS-Reich" marked plate is copied.by Jeronimo
That is just amazing. Sign of the times I guess.
Even the lower price items are prone to reproduction.
Thanks for the info. I've not paid attention to these items lately...
What will be faked next...Nazi towels? Oh wait...I already saw one....
