Another rare photo of the same cavalier.
Usually you won`t find any manufacturer labels inside the original cases.
But this time there is a stamp inside.
Barely readable but it's reads just fine when you know the name of the workshop.

Another curious aspect regarding the cases for the 2nd type badges is the kanji on the lid.
The colour of the kanji to be precise.
These are in gold!
Gold kanji for a case of the badge that was introduced at the end of 1941!
By this time golden kanji was "banned" for three years.
Cases with silver kanji can also be found.
