Condition Report
All three items display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. The cigarette case displays some quite heavy tarnishing throughout. Some deeper scratches, nicks and contact marks are visible, also minor surface dints. There is some slight loss of detail to the decoration, especially around the edges and corners where there is more wear. The hinges and clasp are in working order although there is a very slight gap when closed. The hallmarks, located to the interior, are clear and legible. General wear and tarnishing to the figures.
