German Cigar Trimmer
- Thread starter Gspragge
- Start date
The "Geschossfabrik Otto Jachmann AG" was one of the most advanced factories for Artillery shells and fuzes during and before war. In 2nd WW the Hartung & Jachmann AG was again a mayor ammunition factory. Because of their leadership in both wars this factory was a official consultant for smaller factories which had no experience in producing ammunition.
The middle trimmer in Pysall's image must be the oldest form. I had one once and it turns
out to be not a converted projectile but a wholly made up cutter to look like one. The bands
look good , but are thin metal over a raised cast rib in the body. I think one of the scarcer kinds.
Here is an image of a set from an old ebay sale that I saw. The lighter, well after it's lit as there is no
actual lighter mechanism it could be passed around the table so everyone could light their cigars.
I have only seen this one example. Don't know how Weasel has avoided one all these years, I don't
think they are so rare, perhaps bad luck !
