The knife is 11 3/4" in length and the blade is 6 1/2" X 1 7/8" at its widest and the weight is approx. 150gm. The fork is 9 1/4" in length and the server part is 1 3/4" X 3" and the weight is approx. 100gm. The condition is very fine with only a 2 3/16" crack in the ivory on the side of the fork. This appears to be a natural crack that sometimes happens to ivory. The integrity of the piece is fine and the server part is tight to the handle. The knife has a very fine 7/16" line in the ivory handle but not a separated crack (more like a small light hairline). The ferrule (silver band between the handle and blade) is slightly loose but the blade is tight to the handle. Both pieces have a brite cut fish design. There is no monogram or removal and the Sheffield and makers mark are on each solid sterling piece. (Note - The light is uneven in some of the pictures and there are reflections.)
