Did it come in a case?  If so, could you please take a picture of the case as well?

It came in the cloth pouch.

Ip, do you have any idea what it might be worth?

OK so I found this thing in a storage unit with some other old but unrelated stuff and have no idea what it is. The coin is from 42 and with the guns on the back I thought it might be something with WWII. It came in the case and fits so nicely I think they are together but I'm not sure.







If anyone knows what this thing is and what it's value is please enlighten me! Thanks guys

Antique Questions Forum / Antique silverware I know next to nothing about

« on: November 11, 2013, 12:17:36 PM »

I just started doing storage auctions, and in the first one I bought I found this mixed bag of silverware.  I did some searching online for the stuff but tbh got frustrated after a couple hours of digging through silver marking sites and only finding anything on two of the pieces, which are the second set of photos in this thread.   

This one I couldnt find anything on..  There was one maker that looked similar but wasnt the same thing

Front Insignia:



Back Markings:



This one is a spoon that has a matching fork.  I found these before online when I first bought them and unfortunately didnt save the page.  My memory says they are made by 'Darling' but searching by that name has found me nothing :/

Marking:


Two of the same spoons this time..

And one serving spoon.

Ill be happy to take more photos at request.. thank you guys for any help you can give me
