Danish Candle Holders, Silver or Silver Plate?

[Granmaa]

Can anyone tell me if these are silver or silver plate markings?

Hi Miles,

See Hans Jensen at: http://www.925-1000.com/silverplate_J.html

In your second image, the first mark is 'HJ', the second the whale mark that, and I stand to be corrected, was only used on plated wares, and the third may be a distributor, similar to the placing of the mark of Hejl & Co. below:

No you are not to be corrected. Its correct.
He was a silversmith HJ and the fish was his mark on silverplate.
