New Member-First post! SS dinnerware and cigarette case
Hi everyone,
I just joined the other day. Looks like a great place, with lots of information and knowledgeable, helpful members.
I am a collector of a variety of antiques (music players, musical instruments, fossils, bones and teeth, some autographs, and...as of about 4 years ago, militaria.
When it involves militaria, I enjoy collecting WWI, WWII, US Civil war, and Post US civil war ('Indian wars') era.
As my first post, I decided to share a few pics of my only German SS related items. Everyone has their interests, and SS related artifacts just happens to not be one of mine. I will acquire it, but do not 'hunt' for it
Here are some dinnerware (they are obviously not made by the same maker, nor were meant to be a 'set'.)
Maker marks on back. I did my best to get the markings, I apologize for the lack of detail I was able to capture in the pics:
And a cigarette case:
(this engraving is on the inside, I do not believe it is a maker's mark, but an owner's initials. The more knowledgeable can correct me if need be)
I welcome any comments about the items, and thanks for allowing me to become a member of the forum.
Welcome to the Forum..The cigarette case looks to be "Alpacca" or coin silver.. Examine the piece by the catch to see if it marked as such.. I personally am not fond of the engraving on the lot..
Again Welcome...G

Welcome to the Forum...Three completely unrelated items with the same -peculiar- Runic design all in one location...That's not an encouraging sign...I suspect someone was practicing his skills on different items to see which would sell best...just my opinion...but we see such embellishments on a regular basis...
cheers, Glenn
