The attached photos show an alligator skin coin purse that has four silver corners or edges. Each of these edges has a series of three hallmarks and a maker's mark L.K. I did some research online but I was unable to identify the country, year or maker. There is an inscription written on the inside of the purse that includes the date 15-7-16. Based on the inscription it appears that the coin purse was a gift to a soldier before going to war. Since the inscription is in English, I thought that the hallmarks could be British but they don't fit British hallmarks. I would appreciate help in identifying these hallmarks and the maker. Thank You

Hi,
Welcome to the Forum.
The hallmarks are Birmingham import marks for 1911.

The sponsor may well be Ludwig Krumm, but that would need to be confirmed.
