WW2 German Wehrmacht Waffen SS Kantine Teeloffel – MESS HALL TEA SPOON – VERY NICE!

Description

You are bidding on a SUPERB example of a WW2 German Waffen SS Mess Hall Spoon!

 As with any nations military the Germans had garrisons and barracks to house and care for its troops when they were not in the field. Following the old adage that, “an army runs on its stomach”, one of the major concerns and main benefits of military life was the guarantee of three “square” meals a day. When in garrison/barracks these meals were served in mess halls that had to be outfitted with enough cutlery and flatware to serve the number of personnel stationed there. This also applied to the Waffen-SS, (Armed-SS), and control of the mess hall rations and supplies was under the auspices of the SS-WVHA, SS-Wirtschafts und Verwaltungs Hauptamt, (SS-Economic and Administration Department).

Made of lightweight aluminum, this is a FANTASTIC example!  As it is in used condition, there are some slight wear and marks due to the age, but nothing that detracts.  It is marked with the SS Logo at the top.  Would make a FANTASTIC addition to any collection or display!
