Hello,

I have three cases used for matchbooks - all of them have the same makers mark - I think it must be french...

2.Case (Z = 1874 (????), Lion = 925, Δ = Import mark of Birmingham since1904 - thanks to silverport for the information)
how is this compatible? It is also marked sterlingsilver.

Hello.

I don't think the marks are French. Maybe Dutch?
Wait for other opinions.
