The Box appears to have been presented to Hermann Goring by Ernest Heinkel and Heinkel, supplier of airplanes to the Luftwaffe. Picked it up for around $1200. I hope it is period.

Not good news sorry ,
was it from https://www.liveauctioneers.com lot 298 ?
Maybe best to post pics before auction ?
They might accept returns ?
You know, HG liked very fine items and gifts, it's not fine with this "precious stone"!
The best Militaria forum in France is here : http://deutsch-militaria.forumactif.us/
Not liking it you would think it would be made of silver and alot more better made for such a lover of fine things
Besides everything else, the twin engined bomber design embossed in the side of the 'tin' is not any Heinkel aircraft I recognise as one of theirs. It rather resembles a Dornier or Junckers type.....
Edit: Just seen the presentation plate to the Fallschirmjager Kommander....It's made of Alpacca, actual silver content zero. Someone got burned bad.

We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker of course, and the end cannot be far.
It seems a pity, but I do not think I can write more. R. SCOTT.
