WW2 German Kriegsmarine SILVER CIGARETTE CASE U-BOAT PRESENTATION PIECE

835 Sterling Silver & 10K Gold Presentation Cigarette Case! Complete with the original protective leather sleeve, it was commissioned by a member of the 7th U-Boat Flotilla "Wegener". Though it features some slight marks, scratches, and wear, due to the age, it remains VERY solid, with slight tarnishing. The three U-Boat Conning Tower Emblems on the front feature AMAZING detail, and depict.

U-48 - 3x Arched-Back Cat U-47 - The Snorting Bull U-95 (possibly U-1192) - Snake wrapped around an Umbrella. Also in 10K Gold on the back side are the Red Devil Emblems used on Erich Topp's U-57, U-552, and U-2513. The inside features 10 engraved signatures, alongside the U-Boats these specific individuals served on. Kunert + U-45 Kruger U-46 Topp (Erich) Burckhardt U-47 Endrass (Elgenbert) Hirsacke (Heinz) U-48 Unknown U-51 Schneider Herbert? I suspect the signatures denoted crewman the original owner served with, or at least knew quite well, as it seems more like a commemoration piece. More research can certainly be done. Dating pre-1943, the hinge functions PERFECTLY, and the inner elastic to retain the cigarettes is also intact! 3" x 5" x 5, it is one of the NICEST Kriegsmarine Cigarette Cases I have ever seen! Would make a SUPERB addition to any collection or display!
