Please can anyone identify the 3 marks found on a silver cigarette case?
The third mark is “85” maybe silver strength / purity (zlotniki utilized in Russia, Turkey, Persia, etc. but normally the mark is “84”)
The cigarette case with a dragon on the lid, inside is gold plated.
It’s cm. 10,5 x 8 and weight 155 gr.
If possible I would like to know where the cigarette case has been made (Russia? China? Japan? other?) and its age (the end of 19th century?).
Many thanks
Ludovico
P. S.:
