Information on Cigarette Case

Please can someone assist me by confirming if i have read/understood the markings on my item.

It is from Britain, Birmingham, and from the year 1926. What I am not sure of is the XX markings on the item. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.


This is a Birmingham sterling silver hallmark with the date letter B for the assay year 1926/27. The maker’s mark, HM, is that of Henry Matthews.
