These were brought back by a member of the US Merchant Marine who served on one of the Mermansk Run convoys. I provided some closeups of some of the markings, and was hoping these marks could positively date them.

The first one show date September 1940 and second April 1942. Nice packs and seem to be complete.

Nice original packs there! Ljuks and Kazbek were luxury cigarettes, smoked by generals and similar high officials. Privates and lower officers usually didnt get ready-made cigarettes, but just tobacco "makhorka."Comment
