Condition Report
Both items display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. Some light tarnishing to the silver sections and some deeper scratches and nicks are visible. The engraved decoration is still quite bright. More wear and some rounding to the edges. The fork prongs have faired quite well, as has the tip of the knife blade. The hallmarks are clear and legible.
Vertical splits are visible in both ivory handles and the crests are worn and very faint in places. The case is in poor condition.
