Condition Report
The canteen appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing to some pieces and they would benefit from a clean and polish. Some deeper scratches and nicks visible and heavier wear to edges and tips but spoon bowls and fork tines have generally faired well.
