The swastika on that eagle looks handmade.

What does the rest of it look like ?

Looks like period made Wellner Silverware for sure. I have not seen that particular adler pattern. You may want to see if a fellow collector here can look up in James A. Yannes book to find pattern. The other dealer who deals in 3rd Reich Flatware is Tom Wittmann. You may want to see if he has an opinion. The adler and swaz are pretty simplistic. I am no expert on flat ware and only have a couple pieces in my collection. If I had a guess, which is a guess. It could be post war added or could be NSFK or DLV related based on adler style. Again, when you find out I would love to know for my own personal knowledge as well. Good luck.
