Hi all.

I believe this is an old cigarette case and i am trying to find out where this came from and what the marks are.
As I can not find any of the markings in my research so far I am not even sure of the country of origin, hence the reason I have put it in this section. My apologies if this is in correct.
Many thanks

Hi,
It`s Armenian, at least letters are Armenian. Possibly made in Ottoman Empire, not in Imperial Russia.

Had never came across those styles of letters before.

Many thanks

Any ideas as to a recognised maker or province?
Many thanks
