I think I paid maybe $600-700 for it. it has some area that is gold colored, but I don't know if it is gold or if it is silver but painted gold. There are also a bunch of tiny stones that maybe are diamond, but I haven't tested them. There are a lot of hallmarks on the case and all of them are in a row. There is also one G.A.S mark on the outside of the box (not shown in the photos). The strange part is that it has both 900 silver mark and another mark which indicates it is Austrian but it also has an 88 mark which I think Russians used. The case is in a box by C.E.Bolin, a shop in St Petersburg. Is this a case that was made in Austria and sold in Russia? And does it look legit? And any guess as to how much it might be worth these days?[/QUOTE]
