Antique picture received in auction bin of toys...not sure of value or history and wanted to see if anyone knew? Sorry for the poor quality in picture...the glare is light from window and the reflection in glass is our t.v. :-) I have more pics available..their too big to upload here and will work on that.

Probably early 1900's, Japanese, Damascene, silver 950, cigarette case depicting a Samurai & his horse (Chief going to battle?). ~ Gold gilding. ~ Shakudo(?) coloring; blue patina. ~ Etched, mirror-image scene inside & out. ~ 3 marks on the back. ~ Secure clasp.
Some light scratches on the back. ~ A nick along the inside, top edge. ~ Gap shows between the 2 covers when closed. ~ Small dent on front cover.
