Overall in very good condition. The silver presents with light surface scratches and minor tarnish concentrated to the backsides of the cufflinks as consistent with gentle use. The lacquered surfaces present with very fine surface scratches and minimal scuffing consistent with gentle use. The lacquered surfaces also show some occasional inconsistent application and minor areas of loss particularly concentrated to the black lacquer. The eggshell pieces retain their original bright color with minute areas of loss that are not visually distracting. Ready to wear.
