Hello,
This is obviously Gorham but I was wondering if this was sterling or plate and any other translations of the hallmarks. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Silver-plated. The letters struck are EPNS, Electro Plated Nickel Silver.
See here for Gorham silver marks:

In looking at the reference page I should go by the octagonal shape that enclose the letters, correct? Although I don't see what those letters refer to am I correct in thinking it was fabricated in the 1970's? Cheers.

No, the link I sent you is for silver items, just for future reference.
Hopefully another member can cast some light on the period of the marks.
