Legit check on box

Bought from a seller in Japan with a lot of positive feedback who deals in boxes. I went with this one because the font and spacing on the bottom looked consistent and of quality. Any thoughts?

Coronet shape and depth of the embossing on the box lid, quality and overall condition of the leather - the grain etc. (especially the sewn bits and around edges), consistency of the lettering and the wood grain/staining.

Everything here looks good!

Thanks. The vintage box market is a total minefield on eBay. Tons of boxes that even by reference number all have different spacing and fonts. Prices all over the place too. Glad the one I went with for the reasons you stated looks good
