Condition:
It is French silver 950 standard but has no British hallmarks so is referred to as white metal. All pieces are quite tarnished, with some minor surface scratches in places commensurate with age and some use. Six of the knives handles have sprung from the blades slightly. One set of fork tines are bent slightly. Box interior has some staining and fraying in places. The exterior of the box is scuffed in places.
