Cigarette case maybe Austrian

Hi

This cigarette case is identically marked on both interior sides with the marks in the 3rd image and on the thumbpiece with AA as shown in the 2nd image. I think it may be Austrian but am unsure, I would welcome the opinion of other members who may be able to point me in the right direction.

Many Thanks
Martin

Another image of the mark as there was a blemish on my camera lens affecting the image.

Hi,
For Austrian marks see here.

Vienna, standard .900. Letter ^^A^^ was used as secondary mark on finials, knobs etc.
Maker^s mark difficult to decipher.

Yes, I think it is Austria. 2 means 900/1000 silver and A means Vienna, but I don't know the maker.

Thanks guys, the makers mark doesn't really look like anything that I can distinguish.
