Antique Russian Imperial silver pocket watch, hunter case style, with key. This is an award given to tsar's officers "FOR EXCELLENT SHOOTING", the front of the silver case features engraved decoration of 2 crossed rifles on top of a target, with Cyrillic inscriptions saying: For Excellent Shooting.
The back of the case has a traditional rhombic design, the back cover to the movement says: B. Laval's,... Improved Lever, Full Jewelled, St. Imier. The original porcelain / enamel dial is in perfect condition, there are no cracks or flakes. The movement is also in a excellent working condition, works steadily and securely. The key with which the clock came appears to be a smaller number, but it can wind the spring, but it looks small to fit the arrows. Anyway, the watch is working fine, maybe needs of changing the key with a larger one.
The case measures 55-56 mm. in diameter. This watch has been in storage for decades, but its silver covers/cases are are in excellent shape, very slightly worn out because of time and from normal use, but they are NOT dinged, crumpled or dented. The watch weighs approx. 110 grams.
The silver chain is made on a special order, it is 44 cm. long and decorated with various Russian imperial figurines and large and heavy Russian coins. The chain is 155.45 grams. Most suspended elements are marked 84 for silver.I'm not an expert on watches, but I've made 36 detailed photoses, so please review the photos carefully, perhaps they can tell you much more than I can tell you...
