All pieces displaying general expected surface wear, marks and scratches commensurate with age and use. Also some tarnishing. There is some quite heavy wear to many of the fork tines. Some are bent, worn down at the tip and therefore uneven in length. There is also some heavier wear to some of the spoon bowls, some have little dints around the edge and feel thinner towards the tips. Hallmarks are mostly clearly legible, wear and rubbing to some of the maker's marks.
