Unknown marks on case

Postby clown123 » Mon Mar 09, 2009 2:21 pm

Hi,

I have a silver box. It is clearly hallmarked. I have no idea of where, when or who. Hanau maybe?

Thanks.

I assume that the country of origin is Germany, the mark in the middle is the crescent and the crown. I do not recognize the maker's mark. The used niello technique is often seen on Russian cigarette cases.

Hope this helps!

Best regards/JAKJO
