Count Puckler Gold Plated Flatware

A table setting of 12 forks, 12 knives with Henckel blades, and 12 dessert spoons, all by Sy & Wagner of Berlin, and marked with their beehive stamp. These are purported to have belonged to the family of Countess Puckler, the widow of the notorious Waffen SS commander, Carl-Friederich von Puckler-Burghauss. Accompanying the set is a note typed in red on a piece of cardboard explaining that these were obtained by the McNarneys from a friend, Miss Cavey, who obtained them from Countess Puckler. The spoons are engraved with a coronet of nine points over a script letter "B." According to the note this is for "Brandenburg," being the descendants of a morganatic marriage between Frederick Wilhem II Hohenzollern and a common woman who he created Countess Brandenburg.According to the note the silverware dates to around 1800. The coronet with 9 points definitely denotes a Graf (Count) It should also be noted that Sy & Wagner were not in operation until 1867.. Size: The 36 pieces are all contained in a cardboard box that is 12 1/2 by 10 by 2 inches. These do not have the hallmark of Sy& Wagner, therefore are assumed not to be silver. Provenance: Estate of General Joseph McNarney. Processing and shipping in the Continental United States is $230.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance.
