Condition Report

There is damage and lead solder repair to the footrim and evidence of splitting visible from the front of the footrim as well.  The footrim is bent at this point, body and cover look to be in good condition, initials probably erased from the top of the handle.  Evidence of hammering to the silver within the lid around the hallmarks, where dents have probably been removed.  Hinge pin looks to be replaced
