Can you take shots of any additional marks on the undersides?

Japanese Sterling is 950, but it feels European to me. Sorry I can't be more help.

That appears to be an American model/stock/set number, odd there is no marker's mark.

To my eye, this set has a somewhat odd appearance for sterling, might suggest having it tested for metal content...

I agree with Cheryl concerning the appearance of the metal. It would be terrific if it were actually sterling, but for me, a competent test would be a must.

I will take it to my jeweler, no magnet sticks to any part of this set, all the pieces are marked the same. Thanks for your input and help, Karen
