    Hi Johnny,

    Thank you for the input. I had a look at this artist and it seems that his last name is spelled Weir instead of Wier. Also the artist you pointed out is American, and from my research I guess this box is more likely to be Austrian l

    Is that possibly a pewter mark? It reminds me of one.

    From what I know most of the pewter marks are stamped in a piece necause of its softness. This was painted on and has rubbed off. Defo not pewter. It is gold plated bronze.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I wonder whether the OP should just have the whole thread deleted instead of editing their post to remove the item and the question.
