Top of the case is missing as probably is some silvered metal banding around the top rim, slight outward bulge of the silver banding to one side, otherwise looks to be in good order with shagreen in good condition and solid silver base, contents also look to be in good order, probably two instruments missing, please ask for further photographs to satisfy yourself that the contents are original, the rules certainly look to be as do most of the other items. The only signed pieces are the two rules as mentioned which are made from ivory and look to be 100% original.
