Condition Report
The pieces in the lot display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. There are some deeper scratches and various minor nicks visible but generally the overall condition appears fairly good. The fork prongs and knife blades have all faired quite well. The mother of pearl handles on a couple of the knives are a little bent but generally the handles are also okay. The hallmarks are all clear and legible.
