    I’ve moved this thread to the silver Forum.
    Maybe you can add a clearer photo, or if you can read what is in the shield.

    @Bill1961 - Welcome to the forum!! :happy::happy:

    Also, a shot of the whole back & the whole front of the item is always helpful in identifying items.

    It looks like you've got EPNS there, which is electroplated nickle silver.

    I agree, this is a quote from the following link:
    British electroplaters used a letter code for their "Plated" wares. The best quality was "A1" or "AI", lower level was "A", next level was "B", followed by level "C", and the lowest level was "D".

    All the helpful information above is correct that it is silver plated.
    In the shield is EPNS - translates to Electro Plated Nickel Silver.
    It would be very helpful to see what the "object" is because different items were popular during different times in history - which could help narrow down the maker since the strike on the Makers Mark isn't very clear.

    Thanks all. Thought they are EPNS but wanted to be sure.
