1st Fallschirmjager Div. Presentation Salver

Outstanding 1st Fallschirmjager Div. Presentation Salver. The salver is marked ".800" (solid silver) with a silver touchmark. It is approximately 16.5" across and features a scalloped edge. The salver is finely engraved in the center with the wording "General-Kommando I. Fallschiem-Korps". Below this is the unit insignia, which is a fully deployed parachute canopy. Below the insignia are the dates "17.12.43-10.11.44". Just in current .800 silver prices, weighing 1124 gm, the value of the silver is approximately $2000. The salver is uncleaned and has a beautiful old dark patina. The 1st Fallschirmjager Division most famously took part in the Italian Campaign and was heavily engaged at the Battle of Monte Cassino. It was notably commanded by Karl-Lothar Schulz and Kurt Student. The overall condition is excellent-. Please be sure to review all photos.
