Hi Thunderdutch,
The photos are somewhat inadequate but so far it looks like a good Type 1 (handcut) example. You need to include a sharp straight-on view. Although the case looks like a typical single-hinge variant, I don't see the usual blue ribbon loop in the upper right corner of the interior insert. Having said that, in the compilations previously posted by "Honor" in the Heer section, not all examples have the ribbon loop.
In fact, it looks like one of the photos used in the compilation by "Honor" back in 2015 seems to be the same photo you posted, so if this is coming from a vendor you definitely need to get some up-to-date photos to make sure the source is legitimate.
Best regards,
---Norm
