| OVERALL CONDITION |
No monograms or erasures. The silversmith appears to have left himself a little thin on the back joint. This is evident by a patch around the bottom handle joint. The original engraved decoration goes over the patch and so it is certainly part of the manufacture. The entire back seam has also been reinforced with silver solder at a later date as this repair goes over the original engraved decoration. | ||
| MAJOR FAULTS |
none | ||
MINOR FAULTS |
Their is a casting flaw to the top of the handle but this creates no issues at the moment. | ||
