I know this thread is absolutely ancient but I came across a tea set online with similar marks
the pieces are marked as follows:

Sterling
Silver 950
EP

the "EP" is in a bracket/diamond pattern

thanks for the additional context/information. Unfortunately, these pieces will be heading to the smelter, as there doesn't seem to be a market for them online. I hope the images of the marks can be used to preserve history and help inform and enlighten others

one is heavily damaged at the tip; the other is relatively nice.
Regardless of whether I destroy them or not, I can get the purity via XRF tester to confirm or deny what you are thinking.
For me, the question is what to do with them if not melt them

I found 2 of these serving spoons in bulk silverplate flatware boxes. I haven't acid tested to avoid causing further damage, but they appear to be coin silver. I have no idea if they are rare or anything of that sort; If they can't be ID'ed they will go to the smelter within a few days https://imgur...

I came across this silver(plate?) tea set for sale online. I am trying to determine whether it is sterling or silverplate. I have tried to research the hallmark to no avail. Images are attached.

This is my first time posting, so sorry if I made any mistakes.
I came across images of this teapot; I looked for the hallmark in the pictorial hallmark section on this site to no avail. I am trying to figure out whether this item is sterling or plate
