Fruit knife (12) - .800 silver

Lot of 12 vintage fruit/dessert knives with 800 silver handles and a roll-up case. As per classic Italian construction: - Stainless steel blade with engraving "INOSSIDABILE" - NOT silver - Handle in 800-silver shell stamped (stamp 800 + maker's mark + shell clearly visible in the photos). Only the handle coating is silver. Real conditions as seen in the photos - vintage used item to be cleaned - Handles: there are dark tarnish and a patina typical of 800-silver not polished for some time (see photos). Intact, not dented, need polishing. - Blades: overall shiny but on some pieces there are superficial oxidation spots (see blade detail photo). Does not affect use, but should be noted. - Complete set: 12 identical pieces, coordinated, length approx. 19 cm, 91 g each. - Case: green anti-oxidation felt roll (handmade, not factory original case), functional for storage, with signs of use. See last 2 photos. I am selling as shown, in the condition it is in, ideal for someone who wants a restoration/polishing service or for recovering the 800 silver in the handle. No claim of a new item. Photos: I’ve highlighted the defects (tarnish and specks) — please look carefully at all the photos.
