Condition Report
All the pieces display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Some deeper scratches and nicks are visible and heavier tarnishing to some areas. The spoon bowls appear to have faired quite well, although there is a little bit more wear towards the tips. There is quite a lot of damage to the silver handles on both sets of knives, including numerous dints and bumps. The hallmarks on the sets of spoons are mainly clear and legible. However, there is a lot more wear, rubbing and distortion to the hallmarks on the knives.
