Condition Report
Both cases appear in fair overall condition, displaying some general wear including surface scratches and nicks, contact marks and tarnishing commensurate with their age and use. Slight loss of detail or definition to some of the decoration. Slight break at the central hinge of the combination case and would require attention. Other hinges and clasps appear in good working order. Engraved initials to cartouche on later case but these are now very worn. The hallmarks are mainly clear and legible, rubbing to the part hallmarks on the coin holder. Suspension loops also struck with lion passant mark.
