Have a nice day.

I would like to ask about this cigarette case with dedication. Could someone please translate its text? I understand that it is apparently a personal gift from Prince Alexander Oldenburg, probably the richest Russian in his time.

Thank you in advance for your help, meyrink

Hello!

Wow, thank you very much
