Cutlery made for Nazi leader Adolf Hitler to celebrate his 50th birthday has been sold at auction for £12,500.
The formal pattern silverware was discovered during a house clearance in Dorset, having belonged to a senior military officer.
The two knives, three spoons and three forks, which were created for Hitler's use during formal occasions, were expected to fetch up to £2,300.
Sherborne's Charterhouse Auctioneers said they were "a big part" of history.
