Condition Report
Varied condition, however all the pieces in the lot display general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. Heavier tarnishing is visible and they would all benefit from a clean and polish. Some deeper scratches and nicks are visible. The knife blade is quite marked and scratched and the tip is now a little rounded. The stem of the souvenir spoon is a little off centre. The silver napkin ring is a little misshapen and there are some gouges in the rims. Hallmarks, where present, are legible.
