Charles: I am going to stick my neck out. I have never seen a CW (Courvosier and Wilcox?) case that was not solid gold. Has anyone else had a different experience?

Charles,

I have a couple of gold-filled Courvoisier-Wilcox cases. One is marked simply "Guaranteed 20 Years C.W.Mfg.Co." Definitely gold-filled.

The other is marked inside an eye "Essex Columbia" and above the eye "Guaranteed" and below the eye "20 Years".

I haven't seen your particular case marking, but it doesn't surprise me. They made very nice cases in both solid gold and gold-filled.
