<p>The markings on this piece are not genuine hall marks, they are what&#39;s called &quot;pseudo hall marks&quot;  They are meant to resemble genuine hallmarks used on British Sterling silver. Sterling  or silver examples will be marked numerical markings such as &quot;925&quot; ( 925/1000ths. silver) or &quot;800&quot; (800/1000ths.silver) or with Hallmarks. </p><p>Silver plate is sometimes stamped with pseudo hall marks, a combination of letters that indicate what the piece really is, eg. the letters &#39;EPNS&#39;, stands for &#39;Electro plated nickel silver&#39; . Yours appear to read &quot;SBEP, which could stand for &quot;Silver Britannia Electro Plate&quot;, Britannia metal being an alloy of tin and zinc that resembles pewter. Value wise, not much broken examples are hard to sell at any price.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lovejoy </p>
