Chain links & findings are showing normal even wear with some light smoothing in places to some of the sculpted elements along with some notable thinning on a few of the links where they rub against each other, additionally the two brass brads at the base of swivel & hook look like they may have been gold filled or capped at one point however they are now exposed although mostly hidden when worn due to the placement of each within the connector ring of each finding, overall length is approx. 350mm, chain links measure approx. 2.5x2.5mm, weighs approx. 12.3dwt. A very impressive, high quality gold chain from the early 1900s, perfect to pair with your heirloom gold watch, in excellent overall condition!
