. Fully marked near handle and inside cover. The handle with maker's mark only. There is some wear to the date letter both near handle and inside cover. The date letter could be either the O for 1729 or the Q for 1731. The maker's mark on the handle is partly rubbed. There is a small split to the rim and some discolouration below the rim. There has been a small repair to the thumbpiece. Overall a nice patina.
