Condition Report
The trowel appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general wear, surface scratches and marks commensurate with the age and use. Also some tarnishing to the silver. Some slightly heavier wear around the edges and a couple of minor dints, however the tip is still sharp. The hallmarks are clear and legible. Also hallmarked to the ferrule, these are a little rubbed but still legible.
