ADOLF HITLER FORMAL PATTERN SILVER LUNCHEON KNIFE.
This is one of the very desirable silver luncheon knifes from Adolf Hitlers personal silver service as used at the Reich Chancellery in Berlin and also his residence the Berghoff in Bavaria.This is the more decorative and also desirable formal pattern with Greek key border, closed wing eagle and letters A H, it was produced by the silver smith Bruckmann and was in use from 1938 until 1945. Total length 21cm which is slightly smaller than the dinner knife pattern which I also have in stock but is slightly more expensive. Official silver marks to the reverse side, moon, crown, 800 and eagle stamp. These knife's are obviously very historical and also extremely collectible and they also make a very nice letter opener for a collectors or historians desk. [Condition: Near Mint]
