Estimate £30-50

The blades do not close together properly (samll gap). The decoration on the handle is still generally quite crisp but perhaps with some slight wear. There appears to be a small old repair to one of the stem handles close to the central boss pivot. Deep scratch to the inside of one of the blades, through the maker's mark. Hallmarks clear but with some minor rubbing to one of the maker's marks.
