Heavier tarnishing to some and they would all benefit from a clean and polish. General dints and bumps, heavier to some. Also some deeper scratches and marks are visible. Holes and splits in the metal on a couple of the handles. Rubbing and partial distortion to some of the hallmarks but they are mainly legible. Rust is visible to the metal sections.
