Some over looked 80% silver from Germany

[tamrock]

Found this yesterday at an indoor Flea Market. It's a cup & saucer made by a German silversmith named Adolf Kander. I'm out on business til maybe Saturday this week and I don't have my scale, but it feels kinda hefty for it's size. It's definitely worth more in silver weight then I got it for. I'll post the total weight when I get home.

I cleaned and weighed it when I got home. Not a bad price for 144.6 grams of 80% alloy silver. That's a tad over 3.7 Troy ounces of pure silver at a tenth the price of spot, but I'll never scrap this piece, as I collect this kind of stuff.

It sure cleaned up nice.

Perfect for a spot of tea.

Great find! By the way, great knife. Maker? Vintage?

It says Thompson Guide Knife on the blade. Also marked Soligen, so it's German made. I'm thinking it's around circa mid 60s early 70s ? Has a 4" locking blade and goes just about every where I go for a long time now. More than 20 years I'm thinking it's been put in my pocket.
