The mug displays general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use.  Heavy tarnishing is visible throughout and it  would benefit from a clean and polish.  Small holes in the scrolled end sections of the handle and solder is visible to the lower scrolled tip of the handle, indicating repairs. The decoration is in good overall condition. The hallmarks appear rubbed but legible.
