Condition Report
The fish displays general wear commensurate with the age and use. There are light surface marks and scratches and a little tarnishing. There is slight loss of detail on some areas but generally the scale moulding is in good condition. The full set and part set of hallmarks are rubbed but still legible. The maker's marks are partly obscured. The silver no longer fits tightly around the cushion as some of the pins are loose. There is obvious deterioration, wear and fading to the cushion.
