Can anyone here read silver hallmarks?

I've found 6 spoons with this hallmark in my mum's house, likely to have been inherited from her own mum. Is it a silver hallmark? If so, what can it tell me about the spoons? (They're not heavy, so don't feel how I would expect solid silver to feel).

The EP is electro plated so silver plate and not solid silver

Thanks, that makes sense. I'm trying to decide what to do with them.

The A1 shows it’s the best quality silver plate. I’d imagine the potter is the maker mark. A gothic S like that on silver plate would usually mean “son or sons”‘following the makers mark.

I would say if you don’t want to keep them
You could take the. To a local auction house or antique dealer to see if they’re worth anything buy often silver plate isn’t worth a huge amount. You might be able to sell them on somewhere like eBay or Etsy someone might be looking for a set or to replace list parts of their own sets.

What does the whole spoon look
Like? The small city I grew up in used to have a market every Saturday and there was a stall selling old spoons and cutlery sets
