    Some Imperial smoking items...


    Recommended Posts

    I was reading "Education before Verdun" today and there was mentioned a Christmas 1915 gift to the men before Verdun from the Crown Prince. The author says it was a black lacquered cigarette case with a picture of the Crown Prince and a dedication on the back to the soldiers of the V Armee. Has anyone seen one of these? I am familiar with the other smoking gift from the prince to the V Armee, which consisted of a leather tobacco pouch with gold embossed cypher of the prince, and porcelain pipe with a picture of the prince and a similar dedication, but don't recall having seen the cigarette case.

    Note that the Prussian eagle is stood on his head. We can assume safely that this is not German but Allied instead. :lol:

    I have over 50 "Imperial" lighters and vestas, but most are English and French, etc. Should I put those into a separate thread?

    And other things.

    I don't know exactly what it is (but it's probably civil) and it's made with boar fur. If you have an idea...

    Cockade diameter : 2 cm

    Looks like something a Forester would wear.

    Hello

    As a pipe smoker I often wonder if these are fun to smoke or if it is mainly for show :-)

    I can't reply you because I've never tried. But perhaps it can be a new experience :D

    I think so...

    Thanks for your answers ;)
