It really does look like a box that would fit a bible, spot on evelyb30. Any Jewelry, I am indebted, thank you so much for sharing your insight. My grandfather will be turning in his grave, bless, I miss him every day.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suspected something was awry, though I&#039;ve never handled anything medieval. How does one discern authentic from revival; is it deduction? Are there tells? Or is it more visceral (with experience)? When I looked at the construction, it appears to be folded sheet metal, then there are tacks a contemporary welder would use on the base. The inconsistency of the silver was also strange, but then I did not know if it was a hodgepodge of elements from different periods in an attempt to repair a dilapidated artefact.</p><p><br /></p><p>I need wonder no more, thanks again debunking this family myth. I will say the process has lit the fire of curiosity within me. I&#039;ve always loved coins and my mind would wander as I admired millennia-old Roman coins that were possibly used as entry to the Colosseum. The mind boggles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
