$7900.00

THIS sale IS FOR AN IMPORTANT Russian Imperial SolidSilver AND GOLD PRESENTATION Cigarette Case. THISELABORITELY DECORATED , AUTHENTIC, AND ORIGINAL CASE WAS AGIFT TO THE COMMANDER OF THEIMPERIAL MILITARY TRANSPORT SHIP NUMBER 26 FROM HIS OFFICERS IN 1915. THERE IS AN ENGRAVED MESSAGE TO THE COMMANDER SIGNED BY THE PRESENTING OFFICERS INSCRIBED INSIDE THE CASE WHICH DETAILS THE OCASSION OF THIS GIFT. THE NAME OF THE SHIP AS WELL AS THE NAMES OFCAPTAIN AND OFFICERS ARE ALL ENGRAVED INSIDE THIS HISTORIC PIECE. THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE OF THE ACTUAL ITEM BEING SOLD AND SHOULD BE USED TO DETERMIN BOTH THE EXCELENT CONDITION AND HIGH VALUE OF THIS IMPORTANT AND HISTORIC COLLECTABLE RUSSIAN PRESENTATION CIGARETTE CASE. THE CASE IS CORRECTLY HALLMARKED WITH THE MAKERS MARK AS WELL AS THE ASSAY MARKS. THE PHOTOGRAPHS CONSTITUTE A BETTER DESCRIPTION THAN I EVER COULD WRITE, SO PLEASE LOOK CLOSELY AT THEM TO SEE ALL OF THE UNUSUALL ELEMENTS THAT WERE INCORPERATED INTO THE MANUFACTURE OF THIS MOST ELABORATE AND EXPENSIVE GIFT. I BELIEVE THE SHIP WAS SUNK AND OR DESTROYED BY REVOLUTIONARY FORCES IN A UKRANIAN PORT DURING THE REVOLUTION. MY LIMITED ABILITY TO DECIPHER THE CRYLIC TEXT IN THE ENGRAVINGS PREVENTED FUTHER INFORMATION FROM BEING PRESENTED IN THIS DISCRIPTION BUT IT SHOULD BE RESEARCHED AS THERE ARE MANY INTERESTING FACTS TO BE GARNERED FROM THE HISTORY OF BOTH THE SHIP AND OFFICERS NAMED IN THE ENGRAVED INSCRIPTIONS. PLEASE CONTACT JAMES 501 590-4745 IF YOU NEED OR HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS VERY RARE AND UNUSUALL IMPERIAL PRESENTATION CIGARETTE CASE-THANKS FOR ANY INFO
