Condition Report
The item displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing to the reverse and to the chain. Would benefit from a polish. Slight dints and heavier scratches and marks to some areas. Clasp appears in working order, although a slight gap remains when closed. Several chips to the enamel, especially around the edges. Some of the hallmarks appear a little rubbed but are mostly clear and legible.
