The cup is quite tarnished all over and displays general surface wear and marks and scratches.  There are also some minor nicks in the metal, especially around the rim.  Seam lines are also visible.  The bowl section leans very slightly over to one side.  Maker's mark is partly distorted but main hallmarks very clear and legible.
