Purchasing information-
Both displaying expected surface wear, marks, scratches and tarnishing but the overall condition is fairly good given the age of the spoons. The tips of the bowls do display heavier wear and the metal feels thinner in this area and the surface a little uneven. The trefid terminals have faired well. Hallmarks located to reverse of stems, with expected wear and distortion. Some of the marks are heavily worn and the leopard head is not visible on one of the spoons. A similar initial maker's mark is listed in Jackson page 84 but not attributed.
