Trace of mark illegible. Workshop number clear.
Bruising to the lining caused by the key. Key appears to be contemporary.
Small bruise at one corner of the cover and front (in a continuing line). Light bruising to the underside with wear on high points and surface scratching.

Christie's cannot guarantee the movement.
