Condition Report
In good condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Both engraved with the initial 'H'. Slight crease along the edge of the knife blade. Some minor discolouration to the ivory handles. The ferrules are of an oval shape and the ends of the tines/blade are of a rounded oblong shape, this causes the pieces to overlap slightly at the join, the ferrules are not marked and possibly been replaced. Some minor scuffs and marks to the top of the fitted case, heavier contact marks to the bottom and an area of white residue. Hallmarks clear and legible.
