The hip flask displays some general wear, surface marks and scratches consistent with the age and use. Tarnishing to silver mounts. Chip to the glass base rim and further smaller chips, nibbles and surface nicks. Staining to glass interior. A couple of minor dints and some heavier contact marks around the base of the removable silver cup. Interior was likely once gilded but this is now faded a little. Hinged lid and bayonet fitting appear in good working order. Minor nibbles around glass neck. Some rubbing to hallmarks but still legible, maker's marks partly worn.
