I got this about 15 years ago at an estate auction in North Carolina. At first, just looking at it, it is hard to determine the metal makeup. I have looked over every inch and have not found any type of markings, not even a signature. I have showed it to a few auctioneers, they seem to think it could be german silver. Again though not 100% sure.
The engravings on the front and back are that of tigers and possibly spotted antelopes, a river in the right lower corner, possibly a tree in red, Someone suggested that it is from Africa or that someone engraved it while on safari. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have hit the preverbial "wall". Thank you.
