Very nice condition with only the typical surface scratching and some light tarnish. It does have a “C” monogram on the handle back. There is a very lovely scallop detail to the spool bowl that is difficult to capture in pictures. And note pictures show reflection of fans and lights on the ceiling despite my efforts. My scale shows 153 grams but I have seen listings with slightly higher and lower weights- but may be the newer ones are heavier than the older. I also have a listing up for the matching serving spoon and see my other ads from time to time for more Francis I sterling pieces.
