There appears to be an old professional repair to the base of the thumbpiece, it may be part of construction but the solder looks a little crude? There are a few minor nicks and dings around the body, otherwise in generally good condition. Hallmarks on side of body clear but some rubbing to each of the marks. Lid with lion en passant only. Maker's mark only on handle. Three engraved initials on the handle.
