Manufacturer and Pattern Unknown

Post by silverly »

Just hoping by chance someone will recognize something about these knives. They sort of look ecclesiastical to me, but that may not be much help. No marking visible at all.Image

Turns out this is the 1919 introduced R Wallace & Sons Pattern Rheims which was produced in sterling silver. As these knives are unmarked, I will presume they are sterling until testing proves otherwise.

This seems like a bit of an overly optimistic assumption to me.
These knives, of the same pattern, have the word sterling written on them.
If yours don't have the writing, I would doubt that they are sterling until testing proves otherwise.

Thank you for the image of the markings that I should be seeing.
