    Any ideas, I don't quite know what this is.

    The top looks like an ink stand, but there is no lift up lid, it's a pull down front.

    Appears to be Coromandel veneer, lock has been removed.

    I don't know if it has been cobbled together from something else.

    Measures 13" x 8" x 8"

    Inside was a box of silver jewellery and a pistol.

    Thanks guys,

    The top is very similar, which makes me think it has been cobbled because mine is 8 inches deep.
    It was surrendered this afternoon.

    My firearms ticket has expired.

    Very difficult to own handguns here.
