Cool find! I found a slightly different one in the attic of a house here a while ago. Mine has a large M under the eagle and a makers mark : a circle with crossed swords and the letters V D N S next to an oval with the word "BLANCADUR". I forgot all about it until I saw this post and had to go dig it out of the tool box....... I actually used it to stir my coffee on the jobsite a few times..... ;D

Heer (Army) is most stainless steel. Luftwaffe (Air Force) had mostly aluminum. And a better design! Like the one above. Later in war stainless steel was used for more important stuff....

The eagle M is Kreigsmarine as in German Navy. Nice find not sure the value they are not really rare but are neat.
