Guys,

Out of the box of tricks.

Various makers both issue and private purchase.

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:

Bjorn,

I like the personalised ones, always a nice touch, 7755? FP number or ID number?

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.

I do enjoy a Guinness, they have the tins here with the 'widget' in them it pours like a proper pint!
