Russian Silver Cigarette Case With Gilt Interior offered for sale by silver2treasure.

This is a very good Russian Silver Cigarette Case. It is rectangular in shape and has a gilt interior. It has a red cloured stone inset into the opening push button and it is made from a good guage of thick silver. It has 2 heavily embossed fancy letters of "EK" on the front lid. There is also an etched engraving inside but I am afraid that I cannot make it out (there is a photograph on my blog - see details below) where this can be seen.
