[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 340881, member: 5006"]Very pretty box! For me, without having in hand, silver is a great possibility as metal seems thin (plated is thicker), plus I can't see no base metal showing under the worn decor. Is it light or heavy? Silver should be lighter than plated brass or maillechort. This one, sadly not showing the inside, is described as silver marked with the charançon (weevil) hallmark. The weevil mark is really tiny... Look well to see if it is on your box somewhere!
