The knives have silver handles and are engraved “Harrods Silversmiths” to the stainless steel blades.

Presentation
This canteen is supplied within its original wooden Harrods box with each piece having its own slot. The box is in generally good order, however there are some scuffs and small loss of veneer to the top surface (see photo) and a little wear to the green baize. The original key is present.
As with all the canteens available from our web-site, we are happy to send a sample place setting for approval, on receipt of a fully refundable surety payment, prior to purchasing this canteen.
