Hi,
I am looking for information on this snuff box. It has what I thought initially was a French Minerva mark, but now I am not so sure. Any help gratefully appreciated.

Hello!
Not Minerva, but Diana from Austria/Hungary
Check it:

Unfortunatly we can't see, which assay office stamped.
If it is from Wien/Vienna, maybe you can find the maker from the Neuwirth: Wiener gold- und silberschmiede und ihre punzen 1867-1922.
Best regards!

Dear Martin!
If it's from Wien, maybe could be Filipp (Philipp) Scheidl. But his identified mark in the Neuwirth is different. He known form 1858 to 1900.
Best regards!
