The ladle displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.  Numerous deeper scratches and nicks are visible, especially to the shell bowl.  Likely split repair to the rim of the bowl as some solder is also visible to the other side.  Some loss of detail to the bright cut engraved border decoration, especially around the terminal where it has completely worn in places.  Some damage to the tip of the terminal.  Rounding of edges.  Hallmarks are located towards the base of the handle.  They are a little squashed but still legible.
