DESCRIPTION | Magnificent set of fourteen Victorian silver double struck King's pattern fish knives with solid silver blades engraved both sides with fish and foliate decoration. The silver handles have all just been reloaded with fresh pitch and have a matching crest engraving to one side. All handles and blades have matching hallmarks. I would consider an 8/6 split. |
