These were supposedly owned by the Gering family and sold by a woman that said she was a neibor of theirs during WW2 and they were given to her.Herman Gerings middle initial was W,this appears to be an S. Maybe BS or maybe a family member had these initials,anybody have anymore info.Just being Henckels makes them neet anyway.

Yes,the woman said she was a neibor,they were given to her around the end of WW2 and she gave them to the woman a garage sale to sell.Again,the monogram looks like HSG,maybe another family member.I was given the womens phone# and called a few times to conferm but never got an answer(was also over ten yrs ago).

not likely his with the wrong monogram. objects abound purported to belong to famous people. stories get changed as time passes.
