    That little dagger makes me think it's a post mint case. Looks familiar.

    Spinaker is right. It is a contemporary case. I've got one for a 1961 mint set.

    Were there any original Mint-issued cases?

    I have seen cases (thanks to Wybrit) that look just like that but have Elizabeth II coins in them.

    Yes. Quote from the 2004 issue of British Coin s Market Values, pg 127: "Proof or specimen sets have been issued since 1887 by the Royal Mint in official cases."

    Jeweler's were also in the habit of selling special cases to house among others, Maundy coinage. I traded a double Maundy set of 1901 and 1905 with a Scottish town name gilt on the topside of the leather case a few years ago.
