Do you know when that version of the Marteau was published?
Cause I don't!
The cards fit the box perfectly - I'd assume that both decks were published around the same time, the owner had both decks and swapped them out at some point.

coredil said:photokat your box is indeed from the Marteau Grimaud Ancien Tarot de Marseille and not from the Etteilla.
Of course I have no real proof for this but I am quite sure that your deck is quite old and certainly from the first half of the last century.
The cardback posted by Gregory is the same cardback used for the Marteau-Grimaud Ancien Tarot de Marseille until today.
You can see plenty of them in the Marteau-Grimaud thread:
