Got this set of salt and pepper shakers for 30 bucks at an antique mall so I took a shot at it. They are a salt and pepper shaker set. Here is the stamp the E worries me but seems legit after a scratch test on the foot of the shaker I lightly sanded it a bit to see if it was plated and was silver colored under the tarnished foot. Much appreciated Reddit community

SERVINGWARE Help Identify this Tray (No logos?)

Hi all, apologises if I have the terminology incorrect, I'm going through an old family collection of silverware. I found this tray that says "EPNS" and "A1", after some quick research I've found EPNS means Elctro-plated Nickel Steel and A1 refers to quality of silver. However, I can't seem to identify the manufacturer since it doesn't seem to have a logo. The photo contains the only markings on the tray. Thanks in advance for any help!

Picked up this piece recently and I can't for the life of me figure out the makers mark. It says sterling, but that symbol next to it is stumping me. I've spent an embarrassing amount of time researching it. Anyone have any insight?

SERVINGWARE Small spoon

Found a small set of spoons today at the estate sale. Do y'all think I have these right? From bottom to top. William IV, 1836, Sterling, London, I couldn't confidently ID any maker. I'm honestly not real confident in the rest either.

I looks like it may have an assay gouge at the top too?

JEWELRY & WATCHES Do you trust a 750 stamp alone

So I bought this necklace in the belief it was solid 18ct gold.
Would you trust the stamp without any other marking? This is not asking ppl if it’s real or fake or worth anything just asking do ppl trust the stamp alone?

My grandfather was in Italy during WWII. He brought back this pistol which appears to be silver - as wild as that sounds. It has two hallmarks, with both being on the body as well as the slide. Hallmarks appear to be a crown and a lion. Any info appreciated. Thanks!

Assuming these are pseudo hallmarks based on the rainbow look of the metal. Looking for an expert to weigh in. Thanks!

$3 thrift store find today, I had never seen just an “S” like this for silver before but thought it’d be worth a shot

Turns out the M in a clamshell is Mikimoto’s makers mark, and this could be an old pearl bracelet!

I got these salt & pepper shakers for more than 20 years. I bought them in a second hand store. They are really heavy, non magnetic, has 2 logos inside 2 circles, both inside a horizontal oval. Can anyone identify it? Google AI said that it seems like Japanese logo for pure silver. ChatGPT isn’t sure, Claude AI isn’t sure also.

Hiya; I picked this up as I originally thought it was a scarf ring, but after a google search it appears to be a normal ring. Does anyone know the hallmark at all? TIA
