Need help to identify this cutlery hallmark

British Silver Reading Silver Hallmarks
1

Hi all,

My family has an old silver (could be silver plate?) cutlery set which dates back to the mid 1920’s (I think) but I can’t make sense out of the hallmark letters. I have attached a couple of pictures showing the marks and one of the spoons.

As far as I can see the letters are “f & S e p A1”. Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards

It’s certainly silver plate (the ‘EP’ meaning ElectroPlate)
British electroplaters used a letter code for their “Plated” wares. The best quality being A1.
F&S could be Fattorini & Sons Ltd of Kirkgate & Westgate, Bradford, but unsure.
Regards
John

Hi,

Ah thanks for that. Is there any way to tell the date from these marks? I presume the style of letter indicates a date?
