An authentic Skat playing card set produced by the Vereinigte Altenburger und Stralsunder Spielkartenfabriken in the 1940s. This so-called luxury Skat deck with gold edges represents the high-quality card production of the period and combines craftsmanship with a clear and elegant design language.
The combination of gold-edged cards, classic French suits, and the original two-piece tuck box makes this set a characteristic collector’s item from the wartime and transitional era. In this preserved condition, increasingly difficult to find.
