Georgian, George IV, cased set of 12 silver Kings pattern dessert or pastry knives and forks. Each piece features an identical monogram. Unusually both the handle and the knife blade / fork prongs are all hallmarked as silver. It would also appear to be the original fitted case.
All of the forks are hallmarked for Sheffield 1826 by Aaron Hadfield. Eight of the knives are hallmarked for Sheffield 1822 by Aaron Hadfield and the remaining four are hallmarked for Sheffield 1825 by another silversmith, possibly with the initials SK.
All are in excellent order with no defects. The interiors of the handles will be weighted.

Fork : 15 cm length and 1.5 cm prong width.
Knife: 18.5 cm length and 1.5 cm blade width.
