I have several large serving spoons that have the letters WA inside of a rectangular box followed by the words Sheffield, England.
I have been told that items from Sheffield England which they call plate is actually sterling?? Is there any truth to that?
What can anyone tell me about these spoons.

I have a set of forks marked with an S enclosed in a diamond, a second S enclosed in what I will call a badge shape and a P enclosed in a box followed by the number 20.

Thanks

Does anyone know the percentage of silver that is contained in silverplated items? Does it vary by manufacturer? Is there a document or website that one can look at to get this information? Lets say as an example I have a WM Rogers silverplated spoon - is the silver percentage 10%, 5%, 20% thanks Ken
