Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry Hand Carved Wooden Box

A beautiful small hand-carved box (possibly for cigarettes) with a PPCLI badge made from multpile pieces of wood on the top. Reverse has Japanese characters. I had a Japanese friend look at the writing and he was unable to give an exact translation but he thought it was likely the company/artist's name. Likely from the Korean War Period. Excellent condition except for one small piece missing from the interior. A scarce item!
