German cigarrettes

[Jan]

Hello there, are there many fakes out there with cigarrettes like these (unopened), the seal on the back (3D) looks almost to good to be true.

I have never even seen this particular packet before. But "Austria" to me would indicate either pre 1938 or post war, given it was called "Ostmark" by the Nazis.

But original wartime cigarettes do survive in unopened condition which I think is amazing given that they became a form of currency in the early post war years!

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks again!
