This extensive 12 person canteen of cutlery consists of 12 dinner knives and forks, 12 dessert spoons and forks, 12 butter knives, 12 teaspoons, two pickle forks two knives to compliment them and one large ladle. 800 German continental silver. Weight of solid silver items, spoons forks and ladle 2637g (without the knives and pickle forks with moulded weighted handles) they weigh separately 1984g so the total weight is 4621g approximately 3138g of 800 silver.
