Ставки принимаются через менеджераHISTORICALLY INTERESTING PRESENTATION CIGARETTE CASE FROM JAPANESE GENERAL TOMOYUKI YAMASHITA AND VICE ADMIRAL NAOKUNI NOMURA IN 1941, the engine turned German made cigarette case has an engraved inscription to the inside in German, ‘Zum Andenken an unsere gemeinsame Besichtigungsreise 1941’ (to commemorate our joint inspection trip in 1941) and with engraved signatures of both men. It would appear that this was a gift from the two Japanese officials for German dignitaries after an inspection of the German navy before the war in the far east started. General Yamashita was convicted and executed for War Crimes during WW2 and Vice Admiral Naokuni was the Japanese naval attaché in Berlin. An interesting item.
