Condition Report
Both flasks appear in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general wear and tarnishing and would benefit from a clean and polish. General surface marks and scratches and a couple of minor dints. The removable cup is quite a tight fit and there are several contact marks to the main body of the flask below. The bayonet fitting on this flask appears in good overall condition. The bayonet fitting on the smaller flask is a little stiff and may require some attention. There are large residues of polish around the hinged lid. Some slight rubbing but the hallmarks and maker's marks are mainly clear and legible, also with part hallmarks to various sections.
