Condition Report
Each plate displays general wear and surface marks and scratches commensurate with the age and use. The scratches are more visible to the centre of each plate and also to the underside and some of these scratches are longer and deeper. There are also various nicks in the metal all over. One of the plates has a small horizontal hole measuring approximately 5mm in length in between the main plate and the embossed rim. The decoration on each is generally okay, as are the engraved crests. Hallmarks are generally clear and legible but most of the maker's marks are partly obscured. Each plate also bears the scratch weight to the reverse.
