The inside bands are also in great condition. The inside is marked 12 "made in austria sterling" 418 and some logo that looks like a flat hexagon (hard to see). It's 6.8 oz of solid sterling silver.  Sorry i dont know much about silver or this item, I inherited the item and now selling it. My research and internet search has been:  • Puch is a manufacturing company located in Graz, Austria. The company was founded in 1899 by the industrialist Johann Puch and produced automobiles, bicycles, mopeds and motorcycles. It was a subsidiary of the large Steyr-Daimler-Puch conglomerate.The item was made by E. Zwickel. The inside is engraved Sieger Der Alpenpassefahrt 1930, i believe this was the buyer/original owner.  Please note the last 2 photos of the poster and race car cigarette case are for reference only, you are only bidding on the first cigarette case (first 7 photos), gift cards not included. A similar case was made in 1928 and sold for over $4000 at auction.  I decided not to polish it to help show its authenticity, but i can if requested.  If you have any information or questions regarding this item feel free to contact me. The item will be shipped signature required and insured.
