    Stamped design on server is aesthetic movement-ish so possibly late 19thc.

    You might want to check for silver marks on the hollow handles, though I can't see any in your pics - for clarity, the two 'solid silver, EP/ON/NS' pieces I found on eBay do bear 1905 Sheffield marks on their hollow handles. Though you've listed yours as a fish set, it's actually a gift set of serving pieces, including a butter knife, jam spoon, and pickle fork...

    close up of the last pic seems to show the plating worn off parts of the handle...;);)

    No loss of plating, items were not cleaned

    Okay, to be more clear - it is not a fish set, and if your hollow, filled handles (not the clearly plated working ends) are marked, then please show those marks, it may indicate that the outside is 'solid silver', if none are present, then the handles are also plated. Just as a recommendation, it's useful in questions here, as well as in sales descriptions, to give measurements...

    That way a butter knife won't look like a fish knife.;)

    This is one of those two solds on eBay that I mentioned, a 7" long pickle fork, the second picture shows the marks found on the handle:
