ARTIFACT:
This is a Beautiful World War II Nazi Kriegsmarine Officer Mess Silverplate Soup Ladle by Gebruder Hepp.
History of Gebruder Hepp: Only a few years after founding the company, Carl Hepp set a milestone in the history of exclusive gastronomy: his development of the silver-plating process in 1871 laid the foundations for the company's expansion. "Gebruder Hepp 90" or "hotel silver" conquered the market and over time replaced products made of pure silver. HEPP established itself as a supplier to upmarket hotels around the world, but by the end of the 1920s, the flourishing business began to suffer the effects of the global economic crisis. The Frank family took over the company in 1931 and brought it back from the brink, although the factory was completely destroyed in an air raid during the Second World War.
