£1,79900

Adolf Hitler Silver Formal Napkin Ring from The Berghof, Bruckmann & Sohne ‘925’

A superb silver napkin ring from Adolf Hitler’s personal formal silverware, it features a large embossed Fuehrer Adler (the Leader’s Eagle) clutching a wreathed Swastika which is flanked by Hitler’s initials ‘A’ & ‘H’. The opposite side of the ring has the impressed Bruckmann maker mark along with further hallmarks; a crescent moon, the imperial crown, the imperial eagle, and the silver purity mark ‘925’. The top and bottom of the ring have an impressed greek-key ‘Meander’ border.
Originally there are believed to have been six complete sets of 500 pieces, 3,000 pieces in total, commissioned by Albert Speer and manufactured by Bruckmann in the ‘formal pattern’ of silver flatware and tableware presented to Hitler on the event of his 50th birthday on 20th April 1939. The formal silverware sets were distributed among the places Hitler frequented the most; the ‘Berghof’ (Hitler’s mountain home), ‘Kehlsteinhaus’ (the Eagle’s Nest), the ‘Gasthaus’ (Guest House) at Obersalzberg, the ‘Braune Haus’ (the ‘Brown House’), his ‘Prinzregentenplaz’ apartment in Munich, and the ‘Reichskanzlei’ in Berlin.

The Formal pattern AH silver napkin rings can also be found with ‘800’ and ‘935’ purity stamps.

The design for the AH Formal silverware is attributed to Adolf Hitler himself adding yet another level of desirable collectability to these pieces!
