Condition Report
The knives and forks display general surface scratches, marks and wear commensurate with the age and use. There is some tarnishing to the silver parts and they would benefit from a clean and polish. Slightly heavier wear to the tips of the fork tines and edges of the knife blades, but they have generally faired well. There are some little nibbles around the tops of a couple of the blades and the metal appear thinner in this area. Small dints to ferrules. The hallmarks are clear and legible, also hallmarked on the ferrules and some of these are quite rubbed. Cracks and splits to some of the ivory handles.
