Condition Report
The case displays general wear, tarnishing and some surface marks and scratches commensurate with age and use. Heavier staining and marks to interior and would benefit from a clean. Some edge nicks and a few small knocks and dints to the base, especially around rim. Bright cut engraving is generally still good. Hinged lid appears in working order, although a slight gap remains when in closed position. Hallmarks clear and legible including part hallmarks to lid.
