Hey,
I'll try and take some photographs later on but I have six fish knives, the blades have the marks HB&H* (with a star where the asterisk, like a large asterisk) the Handle's have the marks HH in a square cartouche and then two Fleur De Lys in a square cartouche on the other side.
Many thanks,
Edward

Both HH and HBH were marks used by Harrison Brothers & Howson.

I quote "Originally known as Harrison Brothers (from 1849) this Sheffield manufacturer took on Howson as a partner in 1862. The majority of flatware produced by them was EPNS, however some silver items can be found. They also produced good quality cased sets of carvers, fruit eaters and fish eater/server sets."

Hard to be sure without a photo
