C'est grâce à feu Anthony North, conservateur au département des Armes et Armures au Victoria & Albert Museum, que cet étui a pu être authentifié, suite à la comparaison avec un ensemble de couteau, fourchette et cuillère similaires, publié dans Bestecke, Die Egloffstein' sche Sammlung, exhibition catalogue, 1995-1996, Fig. 187.
