Björn Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Very nice, Rich. I collect these Göffeln myself. Althou I don't have as many as you have, Rich. I have developed a taste for the rare early aluminium examples, that are waffenamt marked. I do not know why some of them were WaA marked, but a few of them were. Here is a early example, 1937 dated with Reichswehr type of WaA marking: Here's a 1937 dated example, with Wehrmact type WaA marking: And a 1938 dated example with WaA: Actually I have two of the 1938 dated example with WaA, from the same producer: I'm still looking for a 1936 and 1939 and possibly 1940 dated Göffel with WaA marking. ( I'm not sure wether or not they came with WaA in '36 and 1940, but I do know that 1939 dated examples exist.) Here's a 1938 aluminium spork and a Rostfrei 1940 dated spork, with no other markings than producers markings and year of manufacture: 😍 Best Regards Björn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Auld Posted October 27, 2019 Author Share Posted October 27, 2019 Bjorn, I like the personalised ones, always a nice touch, 7755? FP number or ID number? Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Björn Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) Thanks Rich. I think if you count in the "2" then it could be a Fpnr. 27755. The markings done at the end of the fork handle, are dotted letters. Proberbly initials of the previous owner. It's a bit hard to discern, but it could look like a L K R or possibly a W R ? The other one has what seems to be a K W scratched into it. Edited October 27, 2019 by Björn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
