I also thought the case looked earlier, perhaps inter-war which seems to be the general opinion so far. If the case was made to fit the items, then the items must be earlier than I suspected. I think the case must be contemporary to the items, because they fit perfectly and there is no sign of later re-manufacture, the under liner and flocking all seems right.
