Condition Report
Each piece displays general wear and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. There are also some minor nicks in the metal, especially around the edges and remnants of polish in some areas. The points on the knives still appear to be quite sharp. There is a possible repair to the ferrule on one of the knives. On one of the forks there is a gap between the ferrule and the base of the pronged section. Most of the hallmarks are still clear and legible.
