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 | ||

Could you please throw up some photos when you get a chance Harry? | |||

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

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  | |||

Thank you Mark. I just hope someone can help ID it. Harry | |||

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. Harry | |||

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? | |||
|
| IHC Member 1610 |
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. Harry | |||
|

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 hand  | |||

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 | |||
