I just bought this case and wondered if there is anything interesting about it. Is this typical? It looks like its made with a belt buckle.

Pablo, a nice period WW1 piece, not made from a belt buckle centre, but rather inspired by...there were a number of such "Patriotic" pieces in a range of items available at the front (Soldiers canteen) and on the home front, cigar/cigarette case, matchbox holder (as shown below), etc...all made from brass and using the buckle centre design. A nice piece.
Prost ! Steve.
