For sale is an antique Swiss-made silver pocket watch case, historically manufactured for the Imperial Russian export market. The inner cuvette (dust cover) features beautifully engraved pre-revolutionary Russian inscriptions: "АНКЕРЪ" (Anker / Lever Escapement), "23 НА КАМНЯХЪ" (23 Jewels), and "ВѢРНЫЙ ХОДЪ" (Accurate Rate). The front cover showcases a classic hand-engraved heraldic shield with a crown, left blank for a custom monogram. The inside contains a vintage paper watchmaker insert with the initials "V.T.F.". This is a high-grade 19-ligne (52.5mm) watch case, perfect for a restoration project, historical collection, or watch marriage.

Condition
The watch case is in good antique condition. Both outer covers close tightly, hold properly, and snap shut with a crisp sound. The hinges are structurally sound, though the inner cuvette (dust cover) hinge has a slight wobble/play (loose movement) and may require tightening or a new pin in the future, but it currently holds in place. The metal shows an authentic vintage patina and light micro-scratches consistent with age. Crystal is renewed. Please review the photos carefully as they form part of the description.
