Hi,

'DRGM' (Deutsche Reichs Gebrauchsmuster) was a mark struck for design protection, it was used in Germany until the 1940's.

What is the size of this piece?

Thanks for the info,
It's 2 1/2"X 2"
Any idea what it might be made of? Silver?
There are no other markings on it that I have found.

Just thinking, Could it be a match/s case?

In my opinion if the crescent moon and crown are missing most probably not made out of silver. I believe could be a pocket case for name/business carts and intended for men to carry around in their uniform or business suit.

Or for book matches?
