Up for discussion is the case, its texture had been questioned in another thread - any opinions are appreciated.
Thanks

The case is totally genuine and 'period' and in very nice condition as far as I concerned

Thank you, Marcus! the silver on the cross print on the domed lid is all still present, can you tell what kind of material that is?

That is a really nice looking case.

Hi Rainer,


The silver on such cases would perhaps be a form of a commercial 'silver leaf' (a cheaper version of a silver gilt material if you like) or a spirit based 'metallic texture' paint of sorts.

Yes, very nice indeed - this is the sort of standard that I have been looking for for some time.
