    You almost got it Jacques.

    No it's not a Juncker but an Meybauer stamped L/13.
    That's how I got it. L/18 case with L/13 cross

      L/13.

      As for your case, I would maybe post it on the cases thread for Marcus to have a look at it. The blue base (flocking) looks different to those I have seen. JMO.

        size: 82,5mm x 76mm x 25,5mm
        weight: 61.2g
        material: seems to have been made of wood
        blue velvet and blue silk
        hinge and push button are magnetics

        thanks

        Jacques,

        I am sure this case is fake. Yes there are original cases with this type of covering, these seem to be connected with Wien makers, but the construction is different.

          Hello Jacques,

          I totally agree with Richard that the last shown case is a sure fake. One can see them for about five to six years. They pop up regularly.

          Best Regards

            I was pretty sure it was a fake.
            The overall look convincing, but the puh button doesn't match, it must be square as Andrew's blue case.
            the weight: too heavy. it is made of wooden material, and not cardboard.
            the bottom velvet lid hasn't the good texture, thus the top lid silk.

              here is the commonly encountered blue case, which IMO was for awarded silver and bronze crosses.

                  Green case, Klappetui style, with LDO on the top lid.
                  Delivered for bronze and silver classes.
                  these cases particularly fit for flat SC, even though it can't close correctly.

                        this green case look identical to the first shown by Andrew, except the colour of the bottom lid which is more dark blue.

                          Bring this thread back to life. Just purchased this green LDO cased SCiB an hour ago here in London. It's the earlier type LDO case with the catch. Cross is marked L/11.
