STERLING · 925
A fineness claim, not proof of maker, age, or authenticity.
COIN
A historical US silver-standard clue; exact fineness still needs object-specific evidence.
800
Commonly indicates 800 parts per thousand silver where the mark is genuine.
EPNS · silver plate · plated
Plate context, not solid-silver content.
IS · company initials
Often maker or company identifiers, not a fineness guarantee by themselves.

About this reference

This searchable index combines maker entries from 925-1000.com and silvermakersmarks.co.uk with detailed research references. A maker can appear in both, so matching entries are not a count of unique makers.

Reconstructions are comparison aids. Oxidized marks are AI-assisted reconstructions, not photographs of original punches. Check punch details against the cited source photograph before relying on a resemblance. Identification review, drawing confidence and auction evidence are separate.

Reading a silver-value multiple

The dated sterling reference is USD 54.17 per troy ounce: LBMA silver, July 2026 monthly average, adjusted to 0.925 fineness.

Grams ÷ 31.1035 × the dated sterling dollars per ounce × the maker's multiple gives a maker-level dollar reference. The sterling reference already includes the fineness adjustment.

Each observed sale uses silver prices at its sale date. The displayed dollar reference is dated; it is not a current quote or a valuation of your object.

Before relying on a match

A mark alone cannot establish authenticity, exact date, material, condition, provenance or value. Compare the whole object and its source evidence.

Source photographs are cited, not republished. Research-only filters describe the detailed references; the catalog does not supply those material or region conclusions for every maker.
