Condition Report
All three pieces display general wear, some tarnishing and surface marks and scratches. It is likely that the handles are not original to the spoon bowl and fork sections as alterations are evident at the joins. There are floods and areas of solder, loss of detail to decoration on both sides and seam lines are visible. In addition the hallmarks are struck to the spoon bowl and fork section only. The spoon bowl has faired quite well with just a little bit more wear towards the tip. Fork prongs are a little bent and ground down a little on the tips. The napkin ring displays some knocks to the rims, so that it is a little misshapen. The seam line is visible. Hallmarks are all legible.
