hope this works,this is the picture of the markings

Hi,

The mark furthest to the right, 'A1', is a plate thickness indicator.

The 'H' and 'Ld.' show that the item was retailed by Harrods of London.

The first mark will likely reveal the actual maker. Try cleaning it out with a cotton bud and hot soapy water, and then post a sharp, larger image of that mark.

The images that you have posted are too small. Please post some sharp, larger images.

Hi,

I think the maker is likely to be Harrison Brothers and Howson. See: http://www.925-1000.com/silverplate_H.html

The 'E' would have been the initial of a former owner of the pieces.
