Hello, I have this spoon and fork, and I was able to use a pattern finder which led me to the firm Hunt & Roskell, but this was an English firm that would have used English marks. The only way my spoon is marked is "sterling" and no maker. Who would have been able to copy these pieces ...

This mark I have seen once before but I have nothing to go.

I think Gmgs silverplate would give us a great gift if he tested his cutlery and could tell us for sure if they are solid silver or not. Knowing for certain what material the cutlery is made of would be of great help, to classify those marks, so naive. Regards Amena Hello amena. Kind regards. I too...

Amazing! I've never stumbled upon Chinese imports before, atleast realizing it! Thanks so much you guys for your forum!

No, in fact I have my doubts about it. I guess I'll have to test it at a coin shop.

I found this silver in bulk box of flatware, no town mark and I can't find anything about this maker who made similar marks. Thanks.
