January 20, 20242 yr #6 Don’t know how I missed this thread….those cigarette cases are excellent! Are there any markers marks inside either of them?
January 20, 20242 yr Author #7 Sorry Dirk…neither of the USMC cigarette cases are marked inside. However, one or both may contain silver. Thanks, Patrick
January 21, 20242 yr #8 So few post war Chinese cases are marked…. I think both are probably silver…not bad workmanship either! very nice they both have a Chinese styled EGA on each…no doubt who the craftsman were marketing too…definitely nice additions to your collection!
