Hi,
Looks Dutch but difficult to decipher.
(Engraved on a tobacco box, no marks, possibly not silver).
What does it say ? Thank you.

Regards

I don't speak Dutch but it's close to German and to me it looks like it says "Een Trouw Hart Is een Kroon der Weerelt" which would be something like "a faithful heart is a crown of the world". It's probably a saying and there's a heart and a crown in the engraving. Dutch speakers can confirm if I'm right.
