Help identify marking on flatware please.

Post by curlykid24 »

Can anyone help identify marking on flatware please. I have 8 knives and 8 forks. They look of India/Moroccan descent? Handle is not bakelite, possibly plastic?

Hi, curlykid24!
Welcome to the Forum!
Unfortunately, this is not silver. Silverplate.
Most likely England. The handle is probably bone.
Regards.

I can add that the knife is a fish knife so I presume that you have a set of knives and forks for eating fish.

The letters on the mark are EPNS (for electroplated nickel silver) together with the letter A which indicates the manufacturer's estimate of the plating quality; top quality is normally shown by "A1". As this is a generic marking it is not possible to name the manufacturer.
