Comprehensive set of sterling silver cutlery in the Ribbon, Reed & Oakleaf pattern for 12 people, including the original knives, all fitted in a lined, three-drawer wooden canteen. Double struck - meaning that the pattern is created on both sides of the pieces - in a heavy gauge of silver, the set is in excellent and original condition. The knives are fitted with stainless steel blades soldered to hollow silver handles - the finest quality knife construction - making them suitable for cleaning in the dishwasher
