Killer work!

Where can I order the Tudor version of this?

I bought the box from a website called Trendhim.

Then it's a case of finding suitable brass bits.

And a friendly engraving company...

Thanks all for your kind comments. 
 

I had a go at making another plaque for the top. Had a bit of brass and a stamp set. 
 

do you guys think this would be a better replacement for the machine engraved one?

Both nice, but I’d leave the current one one and maybe use that other elsewhere :)

I meant well. The current ones colour suits the wood colour better, for me :)

Obviously I haven’t put patina on there yet. 
 

it’s more in line with the original military boxes used.

I love them both, what a work of art @Simonix .... the Maiale logo looks the bees but so does the stamp script... Why don't you just buy another and have two !

That box looks superb mate. Both the plaques and their patina look great. Well done. Love seeing threads like this.
