Hallmarks generally clearly and well struck. All pieces of excellent gauge. Some table and dessert spoons thinner than others around the bowls but still good and not showing signs of extensive usage. The fork tines equally so. Otherwise typical light surface wear to decoration. The carving knives with rust to the steel blades, carving fork also rused and needs re-fitting to handle. Good condition overall.
