This type of ashtray was issued as a limited edition for high ranking Nazi officials and can be clearly seen in period photos with Hitler and Himmler. It was also on the dinner table at official dinner parties and social engagements. If its solid brass its most likly real.

Even if this one is a fake, the desing would be a exact replica

Funny, I thought Hitler hated smoke around him

Ah yes...............!

I can see the obvious 'pre-aged' quality casting method utilised, and the genuine
burnt recessed area where the hot, crumbling ashes from High Ranking and
important Officer's smokes were deposited, while they were discussing
plans most secret and daring, those many long years ago.........!

That is a kind of "3rd Reich" souvenirs made nowadays in Russia, and they are awailable in different designs

I like the second junk better than the first junk

Another thing, I've been a smoker for most of my life and don't really remember
seeing a lot of ash trays with only 3 places to put a smoke. Some with only two,yes but not three.

Best I can figure out is 2 officers and one hooker or 2 hookers and one officer ...

I agree I like the second junk much better. As for the hookers Adolf had some bad experience with these ladies of the night him self and its called syphilis.

I saw these ashtrays on a Polish marked some years ago selling for 10 euros each. I find it hard to belive these are the real deal
