    250785151_10159938793378474_2245038272796713108_n.jpg Hi all can anyone help me with this 68 piece cutlery set my dad has stuffed in his garage.

    There are no markings on any of the items, but from my brief research it looks very similar to Sigvard Bernadotte flatware


    Is there any way to tell if it is? Or any other maker suggestions? Worth keeping or value in selling? TIA

    With no marking at all it is likely to be stainless steel and unfortunately the references I am most familiar with are for silverplated or solid silver.

    Who was Sigvard Bernadotte?

    If you click on the first picture it gets a bit bigger and you can read 'stainless steel' on the box.

    Any other 'labels' on the box?

    I think that's because the items shown are sterling and the OP's set is stainless.

    Some of the items, on the link I provided, show the pattern in sterling & stainless.

    Sorry the box is misleading just using for storage. It's bronze I believe and not plated as not magnetic. Here is a different photo

    The listings on the net are calling that "brass."

    Try Dirilyte Dirigold flatware. Usually marked, but may be worth a look.
