Condition Report
Overall good condition. Hallmarks clear and legible with matching part hallmark to lid. Displaying light tarnishing, rubbing and wear to surface. Hinge in good order. Lock missing key. Both cartouche feel slightly concave and it is probable that a previous engraving has been removed, although the silver does not feel thin in these areas.
