[QUOTE="Lennyt, post: 362745, member: 4535"]I can't be certain of anything at this point. The inscription is in Russian and basically states "from loved to my love 1943 Leningrad". Leningrad was under siege by Germans until Jan 1944. There was almost nothing to eat and any kind of jewelry presents were out of ordinary. I looked everywhere and there are no markings, not even a hint. The box is silver, inlays are 14k Russian gold, I can tell by color. The inscription is period correct and workmanship is pretty much perfect. That is all I know.[/QUOTE]
