Very old cigarette case of a soldier of the Soviet army WWII
The USSR cigarette case of the Second World War has its own history. During the war, it was not so easy to find material for the manufacture of such products. For this reason, cigarette cases were made of steel and other non-ferrous metals and there were very few of them. But they had a distinctive feature - an engraving or other identification marks indicating that the product belonged to a participant in the war.
There are different models of cigarette cases of the Soviet Union, studying their appearance, you can trace the history of the country and draw conclusions about the political situation. The USSR cigarette case is very popular with collectors, the reason for this is the high quality of manufacture and historical value. In order to do the work and get the necessary model, some people trusted the manufacture of cigarette cases to jewelers. Copies created by order are of high value and are in demand among collectors.
After the February Revolution, one of the first models was developed. It was slightly changed after the October Revolution. The cigarette case had an image of a woman symbolizing free Russia; subsequently, red stars were painted on the metal surface, and the text on the scroll was slightly changed. Such copies were intended as a gift, they were handed over to the participants of the revolution and the leaders of the country. In the 20s, models were popular, on the surface of which the image of Soviet tanks was applied. A cigarette case with a "Caucasian" pattern on one side, and on the other — the image of the coat of arms of the USSR and only six ribbons. The peculiarity of this model is that the inscriptions made in Cyrillic are not readable. Another characteristic model of Soviet times, which is considered a rarity, is a silver cigarette case, on the surface of which a Church is depicted. During the communist rule, everything concerning God was forbidden, so it is difficult to find such a copy. Special attention should be paid to leather models, such specimens have a silver lining. The model is dedicated to Lenin's death. Closer to the 1930s, the cigarette case acquired a special status, it began to be used as a reward. Such gifts were presented to security service personnel, military personnel and officials. At the same time, along with the gift, the person received a notification about its delivery.
And there were models:
Made in the style of "Rabble" (the pattern on the metal had a dark or black color).
With a fluted pattern.
Post-war period.
Dedicated to the military theme, with the image of tanks, cavalry Chapaev.
Decorated with a portrait of Stalin.
A homemade cigarette case is a rare phenomenon and therefore valuable. Such copies were made independently, they were decorated with the help of improvised means, wanting to make a primitive model of a work of art.
