Fruit knife (12) - .800 silver

Lot of 12 vintage fruit/dessert knives with 800 silver handles and roll-up case.

As in classic Italian construction:
- Stainless steel blade engraved “INOSSIDABILE” (STAINLESS) — NOT silver
- Handle with stamped 800 silver casing (800 hallmark + maker’s mark + shell hallmark clearly visible in the photos). Only the handle covering is silver.

Actual condition as shown in the photos — used vintage item that needs cleaning

- Handles: show blackening and dark patina typical of 800 silver that has not been polished for a long time (see photos). Intact, not dented, but need polishing.
- Blades: generally shiny, but some have spots of surface oxidation (see close-up of blade). This does not affect their use, but should be noted.
- Complete set: 12 matching, coordinated pieces, approx. 19 cm long, 91 g each.
- Case: green anti-tarnish felt roll (handmade, not the original factory case), functional for storage, with signs of use. See the last 2 photos.

Sold as shown in the photos, in its current condition, ideal for anyone looking for a set to restore/polish or to recover the 800 silver from the handles. Not represented as a new item.

Photos: I have specifically highlighted the defects (blackening and spots) — please look carefully at all the photos.
