Russian or German

Good evening
I am trying to figure out if this could be Russian hallmarks on this cigarette case I want to buy. It bares the German 800 mark but other marks don't look German. Could it be German marks on a case imported from Russia? This is the only available pictures.

Hi,
Twice 800 and crescent and crown German Reichsmark far right.
The second mark from the left is impossible to decipher (possibly maker`s mark).
Crescent and crown mark points to Germany,either made or retailed in Germany because there was no particular import mark different from crescent and crown.
It is typical German Jugendstil (Art Nouveau).
