Air Force Dessert Fork
This is a three-prong dessert fork from the Italian Air Force, the Aeronautica Militare, with the service's crowned eagle crest stamped into the handle. It is a small piece of the tableware the service actually used, so it suits collectors of Italian militaria, reenactors setting a period table, and anyone who wants issued cutlery for dessert at home.
Features
- Three-Prong Head — Three slim, pointed tines give a dessert fork its shape and make it easy to cut and lift cake, pastry or fruit.
- Stamped Eagle Crest — The Italian Air Force emblem, a winged eagle beneath a crown, is struck into the front of the handle near the end.
- Grooved Border Pattern — Two fine parallel lines run along each edge of the handle and follow its outline around the tip.
- Rounded Spatula Handle — The handle widens into a flat, rounded end that sits comfortably in the hand.
- Bright Polished Finish — The whole fork has a reflective metal finish from the tines to the end of the handle.
- One-Piece Construction — Head, neck and handle are a single piece of metal, with no joints or separate handle scales to work loose.
- Dessert Size — It is shorter and lighter than a dinner fork, the size served with sweets and pastries.
Original Air Force Issue
This fork is genuine Italian military tableware, marked with the Aeronautica Militare crest. The crest is the service's own mark of ownership, which is why collectors value pieces like this over unmarked cutlery. It pairs well with other Italian Air Force tableware or works on its own as a small display piece.

great buyMy wife picked these out for our dinner parties and honestly there pretty cool. The military surplus vibe is kinda neat and they clean up real easy in the dishwasher. Would definitely buy again if I needed more.

Coolest little forkYou really cannot beat the price for a genuine piece of Italian Air Force gear. It is made of heavy-duty steel and the logo stamped on the bottom looks very professional.
Solid stainless steel

Unique FindI have collected military surplus for years and this Italian Air Force dessert fork is easily one of the most unique pieces I have come across. The Italian Air Force logo stamped into the bottom is a fantastic detail and the stainless steel construction still looks polished and elegant after all these decades.
One of a kind

Sis-in-Law love itHaving traipsed around Europe in the past, including Italy and seeing the then-Pope, I felt she'd like something like this. Apparently I was right. A small reminder of Italy from a Malus Puer. (chuckle)
When a regular fork is too big (some seafood, etc.), this hits the spot.
