Condition Report
The pieces in the canteen are in varied condition, however all display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the use. Deeper scratches and nicks to some areas. There is some slightly heavier tarnishing to some areas, such as the tips of the fork prongs and the blades of the fish knives. The spoon bowls appear to have faired quite well, as do the the fork prongs, although there is more wear towards the tips. There is some wear to the tips of the fish knife blades, as they have lost some of their sharpness. The hallmarks are mainly clear and legible.
