Condition Report
In fair to good condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing to the edges of the card case, monogram possibly 'D A'. Scrolling thumb-piece moves but requires attention as the spring mechanism is not self-opening the hinged cover. Fruit knives in good working order, knives retracting well, minor remnants of dirt on the steel blades. Hallmarks clear and legible apart from the maker's maker on the card case which is partially indistinct, possibly 'H W? & A ?'.
