A Queen Anne Scottish silver-mounted tortoiseshell and steel two-prong fork, barrel shaped grip monogrammed RH in piqué, armorial pommel with the crest and motto of Hay (Marquessate of Tweeddale), 17.2cm long, early 18th century; a George III silver-mounted and steel table knife, by Bullock, cutler's stamp, greens-stained ivory grip, 28.5cm long, c. 1790, [2] Please see attached images. The steel prong slightly askew and with signs of use, and pitting; overall good though, still sharp (as my leg has since discovered). The grip’s decoration is still discernible irrespective of some losses of pique or stringing, originally it wasn’t all over. Discernible seem to the tortoiseshell and a minor chip. Rubbed and worn crested pommel.
