Condition Report
The hip flask appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general surface wear, marks and scratches. Some light tarnishing to silver mounts. Hinged lid and bayonet fitting appear in good working order. The cork in the lid is in pieces so a white disc has been placed inside to keep them in place. Some nibbles around the glass neck, further minor edge nibbles to glass body. The hallmarks are a little rubbed but still clearly legible, maker's marks a little distorted. Impressed retailer's mark to interior of cup.
