Early Victorian silver cased set of fruit knives and forks for twelve place settings, each with...

All pieces display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use.  There is some tarnishing to the silver sections and deeper scratches to some areas, also some minor nicks/dints.  More wear to the edges and rounded tips of the blades and some of the fork prongs are a little bent.  One of the knife blades is very loose in the mount.  The hallmarks are mainly clear and legible.  There is some damage to the hardstone handles, mainly cracks and small chips.  However, one of the handles has a much larger crack and piece missing, just below the ferrule.  Wear and deterioration to the case.  An update to this condition report confirms that there is one knife deficient.
