Is anyone familiar with GF cases marked only with a flag with a star on it?

Here's pic of the case but the markings are not shown.

GF?
Vintage case ?

The seller says:The case as a whole shows little wear. There is minor brassing on the case.[HR][HR]
This is somewhat contradictory and confirms that the case is not solid gold. That it is worn to brass indicates that it is not particularly new.

It does look nice in the picture.

Charles,

The marking of a flag with a star in it and the word "Golden" above the star (and inside the flag) is for a case made by Dueber. Pretty low grade GF too, if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the information, guys. I'll feel better about bidding on one of these in the future. Information is power.

Kent, I missed the minor brassing comment- thanks for the catch.
