Condition Report
The silver displays wear commensurate with the age and use with general scratches, marks and tarnishing. The seam on the body has become visible. Some rubbing to the detail on the embossing. Central circular white metal panel covering where a loop handle would fit. Personal initial engraving to one cartouche. The wooden base to the inside also appears to have been recently stripped. The hallmarks a little rubbed but clearly legible.
