I ran across the fork pictured below and was wondering if it was correct for our period. I've searched this forum and the web in general with no luck.
The three tines of course are an early feature, but the 1860's forks I've seen generally have a bone or wooden handle. The handle -- disregarding the tines -- looks a lot like WWI-era mess gear. Can anyone shed any light on this?
