$1299.99

PRESENTING A SUPERB AND RARE ANTIQUE RUSSIAN SILVER CIGARETTE CASE, JUST A LITTLE BIT LESS STERLING SILVER CONTENT THAN THE US STANDARD, BUT STANDARD SILVER CONTENT FOR RUSSIAN SILVER. THE RAISED, BAS RELIEF, REPOUSSE SCENE ON THE TOP IS WONDERFUL WITH A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR ON HORSEBACK RIDING UP A HILL TO A CASTLE ON THE UPPER LEFT. HE CARRIES A SPEAR AND A SHIELD WITH A SUN AND RAYS. MUCH FABULOUS DETAIL WITH SEA IN BACKGROUND, SAIL BOAT ON SEA, SETTING/RISING SUN WITH RAYS STREAMING FROM IT, AND A LOVELY TREE TO THE RIGHT SIDE. THE GENUINE OVAL CABOCHON GARNET CLASP WORKS WELL AND SNAPS SHUT TIGHTLY. THE REVERSE HAS SOLID GOLD INITIALS IN THE CENTER AND THE NAME OLOV ON THE UPPER LEFT CORNER. THE GOLD INITIALS HAVE BEEN RIVETED INTO THE SILVER AND CAN BE SEEN ON THE INTERIOR. THIS CASE COULD HAVE BEEN CUSTOM MADE.THE INTERIOR HAS A GOLD WASH, THE ORIGINAL BANDS THAT HOLD THE CIGARETTES IN PLACE, AND THE STAMPS FOR RUSSIAN SILVER, 875, THE KOKOSHNIK HEAD OF A WOMAN IN CLEAR DETAIL, AND THE NUMBER OR INITIALS 88 OR BB, NOT SURE WHICH.WEIGHT: 148.1 GRAMSDIMENSIONS: JUST UNDER 4.25\" HIGH X JUST OVER 3.25\" WIDE WITH GARNET CLASP. ABOUT 1/2\" DEEP.CONDITION: BASICALLY, EXCELLENT! THE SIDE WITH THE SCENE HAS NO DENTS, DAMAGES OR REPAIRS. NO DENTS ON THE CORNERS AND ALL ARE GOOD. THE GARNET THUMB PIECE CLASP WORKS WELL AND THE CASE SNAPS SHUT TIGHTLY. NO WARPS OR GAPS WHERE THE TWO SIDES MEET. THE BANDS ON THE INTERIOR ARE IN PLACE, A BIT WORN. THE REVERSE DOES HAVE SOME WEAR WITH A COUPLE OF LIGHT SCRATCHES, AND ONE SMALL DENT, AND ANOTHER LIGHTER DENT. MOST OF THIS COULD BE BUFFED OUT IF DESIRED. NONE OF IT IS OBJECTIONABLE IN MY OPINION. NO OTHER PROBLEMS, DAMAGES, REPAIRS. ALL ORIGINAL CONDITION. ALL IN ALL, I WOULD SAY THAT THIS PIECE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR ITS AGE WITH MINOR WEAR ON THE REVERSE SIDE.PLEASE READ MY response AND offer WITH CONFIDENCE! I GUARANTEE ITEM IS AS DESCRIBED, OR MONEY BACK. RETURN PRIVILEGE REGARDLESS AND SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED. IN THE EVENT THAT THE ITEM IS SOLD, AND THE BUYER IS NOT COMPLETELY SATISFIED AND WANTS TO RETURN THE ITEM, A PROMPT RETURN IS APPRECIATED AND IT MUST BE RETURNED IN SENT CONDITION, INSURED AND WELL PACKED, THE WAY IT WAS PACKED WHEN SENT. BUYER PAYS POSTAGE BOTH WAYS IF RETURNED UNLESS A MISTAKE WAS MADE. IF THERE IS A BUYER THOUGH, I DO THINK THEY WILL BE THRILLED WITH THIS RARE COLLECTORS ITEM.
