This piece comes from an amazing silver hoard that was sold in 2009 by Bill Shea of Ruptured Duck Militaria. A superb original piece of silverware taken from Hitler’s Eagles Nest by a C Company soldier of the 101st Airborne Division in May 1945. It is a ‘Führer pattern’ Pastry/cake Fork. Collectors nowadays commonly refer to this Bruckmann pattern as the formal pattern.
Rarely can one find these silver pieces with such pedigree. A superb quality item and a fascinating piece of history!
What is offered:
- The pictured Pastry Fork from the 2009 hoard
- The original professionally prepared portfolio containing a copy of the letter written by the Veteran in 2006
- Contained in the folio, fantastic copies of pictures taken by the Veteran showing his service time, training, and actual pictures of him and his buddies literally at the Berghof and the Eagle’s Nest!
- The Lifetime Guarantee of originality letter from Bill Shea.
