A few hr hunt in woods and was surprised to see what was down about 6'' in the soil..Also found a 1962 rosie, mans junk ring and a fired bullet 45 cal. I think..If anybody has a info on the spoon will be greatly appreciated!I almost didn't dig the spoon and glad I did.

that's awesome! I found a site that has one marked with a Luftwaffe eagle and it refers to it as a mess kit spoon. yours is marked with the Heer (Army) eagle

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.....

That's a great find!Is that a plated silver or stainless?

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....

[NOLA_Ken]

I have found the same BLANCADUR spoon as NOLA Ken. Does anyone know what it would be worth? Please help

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