    1.SS Pz.Div.LAH Cigarette-case

    Hello guys,
    I need your opinions. I bought this german cigarette-case few months ago. The seller told me, that it belonged to a SS-officer, who fought at the southern front(Ukraine). The cigarette-case was a present for recapture of "Czarkov".

    Frontside: LAH emblem
    Backside: Name initials.
    Inside the case: intact straps and two original WWII cigarettes ("SELAS" or "HELAS"), very rare.
    The OPEN/CLOSE-button has the marking "Alpacka"


    In my opinion it's an original WWII item.
    The wooden case in picture 4 is "new" and not from WWII.

    If you can post also pics of other cigarette-cases of your collection, specially SS related, it would be great to compare all items.

    Best regards, Sebastian

            I think on something like this if the case is period made...it is hard if not impossible to tell when the engraving was applied if it was done in the correct style with correct text.

              I would say .
              To easy to make a "worthless" vigarette case worth รก lot of money.
              As the previus thread said. Impossible to tell wether it's original (pre 1945) made or not.

                looking at the inside of the cigarette case itself, this looks correct, however, I doubt the style of construction changed much post 1945. I agree that there is no way of knowing when the engraving was applied. If I was offered this piece I would be wary unless there was some documented provenance attached to the piece. In regards to the 'Alpacka' mark, I believe these would usually be found on the back or underneath of silver pieces they manufactured as per the Honour goblets they made, but I might be wrong.

                  well, more modern cigarette cases use metal bars/flat aluminum long/thin tabs to hold the cigarettes in place rather than elastic, if that helps at all
