This is a handmade pack from 1945 possibly from a POW camp. Cigarette boxes were used for the cards.

I think that the costumes shown are from modern times, the German Biedermeier period, the rococo period and medieval times.

This pack went together with a second pack showing people from different countries. From this other pack I know that cigarette boxes were used, that it was made in 1945 and that the maker's initials are "EK".
