A George III silver Fiddle pattern sauce ladle with initialled terminal, hallmarked Christopher...

In varied state, however all the pieces display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.  Heavier tarnishing is visible to some pieces and deeper scratches and nicks.  Band marks are visible to the ladle handle and some surface dints and bumps to the bowl.  The pair of table spoons display numerous deeper scratches and nicks to each bowl and some pitting and surface bumps.  There are a couple of minor splits but generally the bowl on the sifter spoon has faired quite well.  The hallmarks on these four items are clear and legible.  There is a spoon missing in a cased set of six teaspoons.  In a further cased set of six spoons, the slim stems are all slightly bent or dinted.  There is also a cased replica pickle fork, which appears to be generally okay.  There is a small selection of loose flatware, some of the items are broken or in poor condition, others appear okay.  Hallmarks are in varied state but most are legible.
