The silver fiddle and thread cutlery set would be perfect to use and would grace any dining table. The fiddle and thread pattern tends to feel heavier in the hand than the plainer fiddle style and has slightly more detail. It sits neatly in a fitted mahogany canteen box which has been re-lined to make it look more presentable. The replacement silver handled knives with stainless steel blades are dated for 1994 and match the cutlery perfectly. There are 87 pieces in total and weighs 131.7 troy ounces (4,097 grams) without the knives.
Complimentary postage with insurance is included within the price of this silver canteen of cutlery.
