This set is in great condition. The details of the pattern are nice and crisp. The silver plating on the blades of the knives is in great shape. The dinner forks have only the most minor of knife wear to the backs of the tines, they look almost unused. There are no splits, no dents, no monograms, no monogram removals, and no repairs.The set comes in a new wooden storage chest as seen in the final photo, as a free bonus gift to you. If you do not want this chest, please let us know and we will not ship it.

Each non-knife piece is stamped with the Alvin maker's mark, sterling, and patent, as well as the name of the pattern, Chateau Rose. Five of the knives are marked indicating that their blades are silver plated steel, while the sixth knife has a stainless blade marked as such. The knife handles are tested and guaranteed sterling silver.
