Condition Report
The spoon displays general wear and surface marks and scratches. There are also some small nicks in the metal. The baluster shape terminal does appear to have traces of gilding. There is a very large repair to the spoon bowl, which involves the greater part of the bowl. It is very evident as there is a visible line across just below the struck mark and also a variance in the colour of the metal. The struck 'castle' mark to the front of the bowl is still fairly clear and legible, however the three similar marks to the reverse of the lower stem are all partly obscured (two in particular).
