Hello, I hope you can help me. I have a pair of silver rat-tail tongs and try as I might, I cannot identify the marks. Is it silver or silver plate (it feels like silver)!
Thank you in anticipation.

Almost certainly silver plate. Definitely not silver as there is no indication of fineness (e.g. a hallmark, 925, sterling, etc).
