It's a converted pocket watch with what appears to be some aftermarket chasing done to the movement. Not worth much. | ||

I'll bet money that the seller is in the Ukraine. I see these all the time from that region. Must be a cottage industry up there converting pocket watches and engraving any part of the movement, dial and case that stands still long enough. | ||
