Hi….I have this silver push button case which I have had tested as silver which carries marks to both sides internally….JR and another device….Unfortunately all my searches bring up English silver smiths like John Round etc….could someone point me in the right direction or country to search….

The sahape of the marks indicates Austria-Hungary Empire 1872-1921. (.900)

Of course, those are not British marks.

Thank you…..I know they aren’t British that’s blatantly obvious but I have not been able to find out the country or maker….but I will go down the Austrian Hungarian and see where it leads…..

I think, it is Johann Rössl in Wien.
