looks like a kriegsmarine adler.
Nice Third Reich cigarette card album.
The case is a fake, IMO - Someone has taken sandpaper or steel wool
to the inside to make it appear aged and the eagle is poorly cast.
Just because something comes 'directly from Germany'
doesn't mean it's genuine.........

Olympia 1936 Berlin Olympics - very common and not expensive - I have 2 volumes in my collection.
Interesting piece of sports and world history.
i agree with Walkwolf re: cigarette case.
I understand you guys are experts in the 3º reich material but the cigarrete case is real its not a fake believe me
Of course, the case is original and someone put the eagle. We had the same thing with lighters....
The case as the guys have said is original but it is not TR period someone has "beaten it up " and stuck a eagle on the front. Just because it was with an original item or it came from Germany dose not mean that it is 100% good as god. In the end its your choice wether to take the kind advice onboard or ignore it.

As already discussed in the link, the lighter has been faked by the addition
of a bogus eagle - just like the above post-war cigarette case
with bogus insignia and markings.........
