Condition Report
All three covers display wear, tarnishing and general surface marks and scratches. Also several small dints and bumps and a little out of shape in places. Residues of polish to interiors. The hallmarks to the English box are clear and legible, some rubbing to maker's mark but still legible. The Thai examples are slightly differing in size but it may be that the edges of the slightly smaller example have worn down over time. Some of the marks are rubbed.
