This Russian silver graded .875 cigarette case features two hand chased Bogatyrs resplendent in their heavy armour and weapons across the full surface of the case. Inside is fully original and gilt throughout. An inscription in Russian is dated 1941 and letters L84 are marked inside the interior edge.
Dimensions are 11cm x 7.5cm. Depth is 1cm. Silver weight is 132 grams.
Case original and is likely to be older than the inscription suggests.
Inscription reads "To dear Sasha from Valia - 11 October 1941". Perhaps a World War 11 gift from a woman to her lover at the Russian front.
