The entire contents of the lot sit within a brass reinforced hardwood case, 17 1/2 inches long, 3 inches tall and 6 1/2 inches wide, with a brass shield on the lid marked "INSTRUMENTS/(broad arrow)/OPERATION" and a shield shaped keyhole escutcheon on the front. Opening the lid reveals a pair of bone plaques marked "HENRY LEWIS" and "LONDON" on either side of the "IMPROVED/LONDON" marked key plate, with the interior lined in purple. Inside the lid are a set of 12 nickel finished steel clamps, with a lift-out interior tray and a series of compartments in the bottom holding a variety of surgical tools, including a number of scalpels, 2 debriders, a hand saw, and others. The tools bear markings from a number of different London and Sheffield surgical equipment dealers, with several also bearing the British Army "broad arrow" stamp.

Very fine overall, with some mild scuffs and dents on the exterior of the case, and some mild spotting and flaking on the individual tools.
