This case remains in fine condition, the exterior of the lid showing a few lengthy drying cracks, but otherwise just some scattered light dings and handling marks. The case features an attractive dark veneer and the distinctive hardware shows remnants of original gold wash toning to a dark ocher brass. The shield-shaped monogram plate and banner atop the lid remain un-engraved and the base retains most of its maroon pebbled paper covering. The interior is lined in blue velvet showing some moderate edge wear along the partitions, the partition of the covered compartment also showing a small crack. The base of the covered compartment shows a small missing piece of wood which is unobtrusive. The lid lining is embossed with a border pattern and large coat of arms over ''E.M. REILLY & CO. / LONDON'' which shows moderate loss of its gold leaf. The case contains a trio of attractive period accessories including: ivory-handled turn screw, ivory-handled and gold-washed cleaning jag and an unmarked pewter oiler. This is a very desirable case to accompany your Model 1 Tipping & Lawden, especially one bearing Reilly retailer markings. (13C11134-28) (1200/1800)
