    Does anyone recognize the hallmarks on this case?

    Looks like a squirrel, which should be 14K?

    Fake?

    Looks like a rabbit to me, if that means anything.

    I think it's Helvetia on a bad hare day.

    Saw that one on eBay - looks like an aftermarket possible South American case to me. Sometimes the markings are bit more creative.

    Is anybody else enjoying the fact that there are actual hallmarks paying homage to the Golden Squirrel of Distraction? :cool:
