    Italian I suspect. Not really a silver question hence posting it here. Anyone recognise the impressed logo on the leather please? I can also see 925 on the silver, god knows what else!

    Lovely soft leather.

    I suspect the marks on the silver section is Italian "Riempito." R in a square and 1g for the silver. Here's a section of that regulation that explains:

    a) In the objects partially or totally coated with a sheet of precious metal, the use of putty is allowed to fix the thin sheet to its support, on condition that the density of the putty is not more than 2,5 g/cubic cm. and that its percentage in weight does not exceed 25% of the total weight of the object, and that it is marked with an "R" in a square accompanied by the metal's weight in grams and tenths of gram, followed by the symbol "g" for the coverings in platinum, palladio and gold, and adheres to the conditions illustrated at letter c) for the coverings in silver;
