Probably bought as a gift by a US service member in Thailand during the Vietnam War. They don't appear to be used to me. 144 total pieces. 12 place settings of 11 pieces each plus serving pieces. The smallest spoons are 4-1/2 inches long. The sharp steak knives are eight inches. The long knives are very sharp and 8-5/8" long. Three trays in the case. The wood rails that the trays sit are out of whack. The elastic straps have lost their spring. I'll pack with bubble wrap so the pieces don't move as much. The case measures about 18-1/2 by 17 by 7 inches. About thirty pounds.
