This authentic Luftwaffe flatware set includes one matching fork and knife issued to the German Luftwaffe during World War II. Both pieces are marked “FL.U.V.” (Flieger Unterkunft Verwaltung – Air Force Accommodation Administration), indicating official Luftwaffe property. The knife bears the etched Luftwaffe eagle with swastika on the handle and is manufacturer-marked ROSTFREI SOLINGEN, denoting high-quality stainless steel from the famed Solingen cutlery region. The fork also features the Luftwaffe eagle near the handle and is marked "F.B. MUHL."
These utensils were standard issue in Luftwaffe officer or NCO mess facilities and are well-preserved examples of wartime German military tableware. Both show appropriate wear consistent with field or mess hall use but remain structurally sound and historically intact.
