It is our pleasure to offer a Gold Cigarette case with superimposed Russian double headed Eagle.

We purchased this case from the descendent of a Russian princess, who indicated that her mother had used the case during her childhood. She was under the impression that her mother had brought it from Russia and that it was from Faberge.

We tend to believe that the case is in fact Engklish and that the double headed eagle was added at the princess's request.

The mark would tend to indicate an English gold assay mark.

We are unsure whether the mark is for import or from the manufacturer. Although we believe it to represent that of the latter which indicates that the case is 9 carat gold and made in 1921 in Birmingham.

It is rather splendid and in excellent used condition with no bumps or other damage. It can still be used for one's Sobranies.
