After a lifetime of collecting, I have amassed a large collection of thousands of items all dealing with aviation during WWI.
my collection includes books, airplane instruments, uniforms, wings, ephemera, etc. While some items may be rarer and more expensive than others, they all have a sense of history associated with each of them. I have always found WWI aviation to be a fascinating subject because of the new technology represented by the airplane and the progress made during the war, but even more importantly, I admire the personalities of the young men who were prepared to sacrifice everything for a cause they believed in. Unfortunately, my family does not share my interest, and it seems prudent to start to make these things available to others who will appreciate them.This is a beautiful cigarette case bearing a miniature Prussian pilot\'s badge on the front of the case and an iron cross on the back. It is made of silver metal but I can find no stamp indicating that it is silver. It is gold washed inside. The elastic bands to hold the cigarettes in place are present inside. It is in excellent condition. A great piece for any collection.I will ship including insurance and tracking, unless buyer requests otherwise, for items over $100. Wait until you hear from me at end of sale before making payment.
Please check out my other WWI aviation items. I will try to list new items each Sunday, so add me to your favorite sellers.
