What is the value of this WWII German silver with enamel sigarette box?

As above. And I suggest you test for silver content.

No, we don't do valuations here, but what we can sometimes do is POINT YOU to where you might find like samples, like on auction sites or re-sellers like ebay.com, or etsy.com, etc., but there are waaay too many variables involved for this site to do valuations......

 

funny how it looks German at first , but then very quickly ...not German at all...

I don't recognize the makers stamps..

 

850 does not appear in the standards list on 925-1000 for any country. That is 850 right?

 

sure looks like it..

 

Hmmmmm....wondering what the BW stands for...........? BUT, ASIDE from that, I did find there are several initials here and there on it.....two areas below in particular....first is BOTTOM LEFT corner near where arrow is pointing in image- and they're dark......second is the CENTER CIRCULAR SHAPE with initials etched in....arrows pointing there......hope they're helpful to you!!

​

 

looks like "furz" ?

 

Does appear to be silver. I'd guess 1970 or so. Melt value unless you can find a sicko to pay more.

 

I'd rather research towards Asian countries with that 850 mark and the swastika. first I thought Finland because the Finnish airforce used a Swastika and the Baltic states but I didn't find anything .
South American perhaps ?

 

I'd be looking at a Hindu country for this.

 

I think you could be right, Wikipedia is actually very interesting about the history of the symbol. The first one of the three shows looks quite similar.

 

I've Hindu neighbours who use this symbol, seen it a fair few times.

 

Bulgarian I believe, they were allied with Germany in WW2 and deported over 11,000 Jews from 1939 to 1944 to Treblinka Poland during the Germany occupancy. Could have been made for a Nazi soldier?

 

The wehrmacht stamp is clearly meant to replicate the turd rike and this has nothing to do with any other culture. A 'fake' made around 1970 for the hippy market.

 

Yeah what do you base you opinion on?

 

tis when the the majority of this fakery was made

 

there was no unique Wehrmacht stamp.
there was a looooong list of Fertigungszeichen between 39 and 45. 3 ciphers mostly or letters, no company and place names because that facilitated the bombardment of the weapons fabrication.
on small arms - pistols, rifles - there was a normal Beschusszeichen to prove that it was tested with ammo before transferred to the Wehrmacht.
Bulgaria was one of the states that could only choose between pest and cholera, between a threatening Turkey (once more...), Russia and Germany. the Jews were on one hand robbed of certain positions and professions but Czar Boris and most of the parlament were not antisemitic; the Jews that were Bulgarian citizens - as in France - were protected especially when they were becoming Christian and saved by stopping German trains. tragically the Jews that were living in newly conquered territories were lost under German pressure.
