Condition Report
Mixed condition but all the knives and forks display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Numerous deeper scratches and nicks are visible. There is considerably more wear to the edges and tips of the knife blades, as most of the tips now appear quite blunt. On one of the knives, the plating is also wearing thin as the metal underneath is starting to show. This is also apparent on some of the forks. There is more wear to the fork prongs, although they have generally faired quite well. General wear to the case.
