Hi all,
Can I get some opinions on this fork?
It was sold to me as Third Reich but I don't know.
I don't have much invested in it so no worries if it's not.
Thanks!
Fork - Third Reich?

I think this may well be an example of an ordinary piece of cutlery that's been stamped with a small waffenampt adler that is available from Poland for around $20. They're currently stamping everything they can from watch cases to knives and forks with the sole intent of deceiving collectors. Something worth bugger all is instantaneously transformed into multiple dollars at the single tap of a pin hammer.
Regards, Ned.

I believe Ned is correct. I have some "stamped" silverware as well. Luckily like you I didn't invest much in them.
Thanks for the input!
I live in Italy, real close to where all the fakes are coming from, so I expected it.
Rolled the dice and lost this time. : )
People that make this crap and stamp things to rob collectors should have it stamped on their foreheads.....
