Hi Shawn,

it is definitely a imperial box. The sample of the box give it away and the
inlay cloth as well.
Navy or dark purple velvet has been used only during the imperial times.

Thanks

Franki:

My thanks. What do you make of the tag on the interior?

Shawn,
Nice cased H.B.G. these are hard to find. Especially cased. Unfortunately that is not a label. That is the seal for an official letter or package sent by the District Court in Bonn during the TR. It doesn't belong there. Perhaps it was vet done in '45. Sorry
