Is it because Louis Kuppenheim started operations in 1899, so you would have to exclude dates before 1899? ::::

Thank you!
It is Louis Kuppenheim Germany!! Dates between 1912 to 1924 so fits in with WWI and I also found a mention of the Lieutenant in a local article on WWI out of Kansas. Charles H Gunn who was in charge of 356th in Germany.
So I assume he acquired it while in Germany and had it engraved :)

Hi Tabitha,

Welcome to the Forum.

Looks like the mark of Louis Kuppenheim, the form looks like Louis Kuppenheim, there usually is a script "L R" hallmark but let me see why that hallmark might have been omitted, I am trying to find out the third hallmark as well (kind of a shield) ::

See here for the mark on your vesta case and dating the maker:

It appears to be a double-struck Louis Kuppenheim mark (stuck one way, then another way).

Thomas, the clue was the 'enamelled cigarette case', it is always more helpful to provide such information from the start, ideally with images of the marks and the item.
