Just found the bible again. A picture would not show much of any detail to the outside of the bible. It is black on one side and tarnished metal on the other side. It probably came up through the battles in Italy. That guess to due to my uncle (navy) being on a navel ship at the time. Also he was separated from his ship. He had to travel with a Army supply group and rejoin his ship near Rome. He (Protestant) and a soldier (Catholic) had an audience with the Pope. Trying to get it to correct family member.
