F.X. Schmid, München – Vereinigte Münchner Spielkartenfabriken
This unusual Skat deck originates from the production period of the 1930s and was manufactured by F. X. Schmid Munich – Vereinigte Münchener Spielkartenfabriken, one of the established German playing card producers of the time.
Particularly remarkable is the field post stamp “Dienststelle Feldpost Nummer CA9215”, which appears on almost every card. This unusual detail gives the deck a distinctive historical dimension. The cards do not only represent traditional playing culture but also document an actual use within the military field post system of the German Reich.
The visible signs of use and the natural vintage patina reflect the real history of the deck and add to its authentic character. For collectors of historical playing cards, this set represents a rare object with both documentary and cultural value, linking card playing traditions with a tangible historical context.
