A very ornate, elaborately-engraved coffee pot once owned by HERMANN GORING (1893-1946), a World War I ace who rose to become Hitler's right-hand man and head of the Luftwaffe, finally captured and committing suicide on the eve of his execution. Small, brilliantly-engraved sterling silver serving tray once owned by Goring, 11.75 x 8.75 in. overall, with a period expertly-engraved rendering of Goring's coat of arms centered in the middle of the tray. It depicts an armored arm grasping a ring rising from a knight's helmet, a shield with the same arm beneath, wings at the top, and wreaths of oak leaves all about. The bottom of the tray bears an '800' purity stamp and two indistinguishable hallmarks - likely a presentation piece. With copies of letters of provenance pointing to origin from a G.I. at Berchtesgaden. Very good.
