Description

Impressive cigarette case with engraved signatures of high-ranking and well-known individuals.  Made of genuine silver. "925" silver hallmarked.

Size: 10x7.5 cm. Weight: 120.6 gr.

The case comes from the son of a uniform tailor from Berlin who is now in his 80s. The family business was bombed in 1944. Before that, his father used to ask his most important customers for signatures. When enough signatures were collected, he had them engraved to the case.

Among others, the following signatures are included:

- Vizeadmiral Friedrich Ruge

- Vizeadmiral Bernhard Rogge

- Generaloberst Alfred Jodl

- Generalleutnant Gustav von Ziehlberg

- Generalleutnant Dr. Hans Speidel

- Generalleutnant Adolf Galland

- Kapitän zur See Wolfgang Gähler

- General Adolf Heusinger

- Konteradmiral Dieter Ehrhard

The cigarette case was directly consigned by the family and has never been on the market before. 

No damage. Good condition 2.
