[QUOTE="Magazzino della Zita, post: 4440140, member: 74468"]Good afternoon Antiquers, This one has baffled me for quite sometime...I would say it is a visiting cards holder, it is 60x75 mm and it has no hallmarks whatsoever. It opens by sliding the top portion. It has been tested with acid to confirm it is silver. The scene depicted could be Saint George, but the "dragon" looks very human...I do not know why, but I am inclined to think it is Russian. It also looks quite old, but I would not dare dating it on the basis of my poor knowledge! Can somebody illuminate me with any information that could help identify age and geographical provenance? Thank you ! Andrea [img]https://i.imgur.com/ll1aQES.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/b3CLStd.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/LX7DJ4z.jpg[/img][/QUOTE]
