    These rolled to the top while I was scrounging for something else...y'all know how that works. There's no yellow showing through all the wear on the handles, so I've good hope they're some alloy of silver...there are no marks at all anywhere on grips or blades. The knife is just a bit over 9", the fork is ~8 1/2"; the business ends are carbon steel, of course.
    The fork attracted me for its simplicity an' finish, as well as those elegantly long tines; the knife blade is a pattern I've not seen, perhaps a patented shape; the straight edge is the sharp one. Its tip has been broken, an' overall it's very thin. I'll guess, based on ignorance, they're European, but if any of y'all can ID the maker or pattern of the silver work, I'll be very grateful to know it. Thanks for lookin'!

    I can see that my blade just may have been re-profiled...good call!
    Sure looks like it...I'll try to visit that listing, maybe get their pics to enlarge...Thanks!

    Couldn't locate that listing, but found others for Gorham Poppy, 1902; it is close, but no cigar.

    You might try editing, delete all but, perhaps, insert the word Edit. There may be other options, good luck...
