I'm wondering if anybody has seen this mark before, and if they might be coin silver. The F A B is the only mark on them. They look like coin not silver plate, but I haven't had them tested.

I'd appreciate any information.

Thanks

I believe FAB is Francis A. Bunelle who worked in Syracuse NY circa 1855/65.

I have seen other pieces also marked 900, but I would guess your knives are coin too.
