I take it that means you don't think they are authentic. Can you tell me why?

Re: Opinion on some WMF SS marked teaspoons
Because it's absolutely different from the existed originals

Re: Opinion on some WMF SS marked teaspoons
The 'corrosion' opposite is a mark from the post-war stamping of the SS runes IMO.

So, there was only ever one type of spoon made for the SS by WMF?

How would the runes have been applied an authentic spoon? One thing that encouraged me was that any tarnish lines that exist end at the runes, rather than run through them, which suggested to me that the stamp was applied before they were used, rather than later.

Re: Opinion on some WMF SS marked teaspoons
The tarnishing would end at the runes, the actual act of stamping tarnished metal (silver?) would brighten the stamped area, that's also why the "corrosion" is on the surface behind the runes, as the stamp has damaged the surface patina.

I'm not clearing on the "stamping" thing.
Are you saying that on an authentic spoon, the rune would *not* have been stamped? How would it have been applied?
Re. the tarnishing ending at the runes, what I am saying is that the scratches do not run through the runes, they end at the runes. If the rune had been applied after the spoon had been used, I would have expected the scratches to run through the runes. There is no evidence of any scratches running all the way through the runes.
There is no brightness in the stamped area.

Re: Opinion on some WMF SS marked teaspoons
If you stamped the runes over minor scratches the scratches would most likely disappear in the stamped area, as the actual act of stamping distorts and stretches the surface of the metal.
