Tonomachi Posted March 27, 2017 Share #15 Posted March 27, 2017 I noticed something about these chalices that I was wondering if anyone else was curious about. The chalices were made in Austria out of 900 silver post war using WW2 British made US paratrooper wings. I wonder why they ended up using a WW2 era British made US paratrooper wing in Austria. To my knowledge these British made wings were not made of silver and the few that have surfaced marked silver are suspect as these wings are heavily reproduced. The only thing I can think of is that the manufacture was originally provided with a British made US paratrooper wing by a member of the 506th PIR who originally ordered these chalices. The Austrian company that made these chalices then simply copied what was provided in precious metals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasonK Posted December 21, 2019 Share #21 Posted December 21, 2019 Does anyone here on the forum own one of the other chalice types, circled here? Interested in the story on that chalice. That's Göring's coat of arms. I briefly had a silver egg holder that was gifted to his secretary and a book cover, using the same shields. They were sold to a well known dealer.
