English antique sterling silver snuff box of rectangular form, the lid engraved with an image of a rifle, most probably either military or gun club related.

It also has a suspension loop fitted which will have been to hang from a pocket watch chain.
Gilt interior remains intact, one small dink on a back corner (very minimal).
