Condition: Very good. Graying to the ivory lining of the bottoms, light patina on the gold back clasp.
Fit: Top labeled IT 42 / FR 38 / DE 36, cup C. Bottoms labeled FR 38 / UK 10 / US 6. The cups fit closer to an A or B than the labeled C. The grosgrain bands do not stretch and the top has one clasp setting, so it is a fixed fit at the measurements below and runs well under its label. The bottoms measure larger than the top.
