I have this marble box that used to belong to my grandparents. My granddad was an officer in the Finnish navy and I believe this is a gift given to him by someone in the Soviet navy. I gather this was given to him in 1964 when he was the commanding officer of the Finnish navy frigate Matti Kurki. Some naval history aficionados among you may remember that the vessel used to be called HMS Porlock Bay before the Royal Navy sold it to Finland in 1962.

The box has been engraved in Russian but I don’t have the skill to interpret what it says. Any help interpreting it will be appreciated.

Cheers,
Antti
