I have a beautiful 18s hunter case but I don't know anything about it. The only information on it is inside the cover and it has the letter "P" and a serial number. That's it. I don't no if it is gold filled or gold. I assume gold filled but I don't see and wear through so I don't know. The guy I bought it from just says it was 10k gold.

Thanks,
Harry

Yes but I don't think it will help all there is a "P". But I will have a few up soon.

Here you go Bila. Very little to go on. I will post several pictures but it still needs cleaning up so the inside is a mess. This is the inside of the front cover.

Harry I look through my Roy Ehrhardt book of trade marks and no luck but it might be Providence or Pioneer case in my opinion

Thank you Peter. It is a gorgeous case and I sure would love to find out what it is made of. Thanks for the help.

You are right Harry, going to hard to track. Have you had a chance to clean-up the inside case lids? Looking at the pictures you have there it might only be gold filled, how stiff (flexible)are the lids?

Yes Bila I have cleaned up the insides now. They are bright and shiny. I am thinking it is gold filled but am unsure. The lids are very stiff Bila.

Without actually testing Harry hard to tell, but if those lids are exceptionally stiff I would go with gold filled. Hard to tell without having it in handSmile

Hi Bila too bad it cost so much to ship to Australia or I would let you look at it. But yes they are very stiff and do not flex at all. I'm going with GF'd I don't want to get rid of it anyway. If my 939 that got run over buy a postal trunk can get repaired (???) then I will use it for that as the original was a nickel open face case.

Thanks for your input Bila,
Harry
