Pictures do not do this case justice. Highly detailed twin-engine 3D applique on the cover. With CHRISTMAS 1944 engraved in the bottom right corner.
High Polish Inside and Outside. Some spotty rainbow patina in some spots and on the hinges.
Normal scuffs, and a few minor scratches from wear against other materials and storage in its lifetime. Very small area in the top left corner on the main lid, is a small wave/indent in the silver. Nothing too intense, but in the right lighting, is noticeable slightly. Reverse back has no major damage to note also. SEE PHOTOS.
Stamped STERLING on the inside spring bar, stamped 17 twice on the bottom inside edge borders on the inside case. Signed BIRKS STERLING on the edge
