I know what EPNS is, and EPC and EPNS WMM and EPBM and EPWM but what about EPNSS? Stainless Steel?

Never mind...I just found out it is stainless steel plated on nickel rather than silver. It's a knife blade so that makes sense.

Do you know who made the knife, or what the pattern is?

No, I don't. Someone asked the original question on an eBay forum a month ago and didn't indicate either maker or pattern. It's not a piece of mine. Thanks for your reply!

Wouldn't EPNSS = EPNS Sheffield make more sense?

See eBay item 2516175594:

quote:
... a boxed set of sterling silver handled paté knives. The blades are marked EPNSS. The handles are hallmarked for Sheffield, 1918 and the maker is WY.

And it's a sad day when you don't learn new things. That's great!

And I can certainly confirm that these particular blades are not stainless steel - I cleaned them! and I would suspect that the Sheffield lads had more faith in their stainles steel product than to bother plating them..smile
