I tel him that is just silverplate, but he does not believe me...
So, what is your opinion about this set?
Thanks.

Hi RedMask,
You are of course correct, they are silver-plated. Had they have been silver, they would bear official English hallmarks.

Your example with upper case `T` has been added to the collection.
999% purity forks have never been made. Pure silver is very soft and therefore alloyed with harder metals.
Best wishes
