A George IV pair of silver sauce ladles, in plain Old English pattern with crested terminal,...

All the ladles display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.  Numerous deeper scratches and nicks are visible, also some slight surface dints and bumps.  Some rounding of edges, especially to the shell ladles where there is heavier loss of detail and definition to the reverse of the terminals and bowls.  Hallmarks, where present, are clear and legible, maker's marks a little rubbed.  Evidence of struck marks to stems of shell ladles but now indistinct. All the spoons display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate.  Some of the stems are a little bent and the tip of one of the stems displays several deeper scratches and small gouges.  The spoon bowls have generally faired quite well, however some of the bowls display some small dints around the edge and especially around the tip.  The hallmarks are all clear and legible.  One of the cases is not the original one.
