Hi,
I’ve recently bought a knife and fork set as well as some sugar tongs from Glasgow, and was wondering if anyone could help me identify the hallmarks on both? I’ve tried researching for myself but can’t quite pin down the stamps on any reference sites. Also, I’m not too sure if they’re solid silver or only plated?
Firstly, the knife and fork. Each has the same set of stamps, although one seems to have the maker’s mark first, and the knife also has a extra bit on the back…

I’d greatly appreciate any help in identifying these two sets of markings, as we’ve spent hours learning about stamps, but have had no luck in finding out anything about the pieces.
Thanks a lot,
James
