Maker C.NAHRATH – Schlesien,Ostpreußen,Galizien?

[AG2012]

Circular box 3.5`` across the lid, 2.5`` tall. Heavy - gauge silver.
13 Lot
Maker’s mark is very clear: C.NAHRATH
The second mark is most probably town mark in full lettering;
Legible letters: …SELDO….
S for sure
E probably F
L probably I
D for sure
O for sure
The mark is longer than legible letters — must have been a few letters both in front and after legible letters. On the other hand,there is something at the beginning that does not look like a letter and not in line with the rest (red arrow);probably town mark followed by full lettering.
Btw. I think C.Nahrath is not registered in Rosenberg.
The box could be from Schlesien, Ostpreußen, Posen or Galizien, in this order; but the provenance does not mean much. Still, posted in German silver;ehemalige deutsche Gebiete anyway.

My God, thank you so much; spent hours and hours searching in Deutsches Reich and the fact it was brought from Poland misled me.
Vielen Dank und schöne Grüße
