Antique Silver Cigarette Case

A good example of a solid silver cigarette case with gilt interior. It is a typical Art Deco design with engine turned detail and small engraved monogram 'Aar' in one corner. It is good quality, weighing approximately 97g. There is an inscription on the interior which reads "From H.G.Officers, 3rd Flintshire Home Guard, on her 21st Birthday". It is clearly hallmarked for Birmingham, 1917 and the maker Deakin & Francis. The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
