Report by MW
The preserved fish look a little bit faded i.e. sun bleached, it is the original case with the original naturalistic background and the original sign writing to the bow fronted case. The case has the usual little knocks, marks etc commensurate with wear but no woodworm damage.
The cased trout come from the original family and have not been on the market since.
Overall they look a handsome pair of fish
