Can anyone identify the hallmark on these salad tongs and whether they are sterling silver or silverplate? I was unable to match the hallmark with any I could find on the site. Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Hello and welcome.

If your salad tongs were sterling they would have British sterling hallmarks. Check here:

Have seen that crowned EL mark on silverplated items from England, Italy, Denmark and Germany.
This makes me think it was used by an importer and/or distributor.
Have not been able to identify who that was.
