The handle has been repaired ( off and re-attached by the looks of the silver solder on both sides). There are remnants of a very tired engraved armorial to the pan. Numerous minor scratches to the top and base, commensurate with age and usage. There are several small dings around the side of the sconce and a few tiny nicks to the inner rim. Visible wear to the circumference of the pan. Hallmarks visible but very worn.
