  • \$\begingroup\$ The "6800" marking would support that theory, although I've never seen any capacitor built like that before. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 24, 2014 at 15:38

It is soviet silver mica capacitor. Old but still good quality. 500B (read as 500V) is the maximum voltage. 6800 is 6800pF or 6.8nF. 5% is the capacitance tolerance.
