I have to be honest here, I can’t tell if this is solid silver or silver plated. I started to clean them because they where heavily tarnished. I used a silver polishing cloth and they shined up perfect. I have found in the past that plated, once heavily tarnished does not come clean easily if all. But perhaps it’s an amazingly thick silver plate. I also, believe this is from earlier than 1900. From all the research I have done this looks like one of the older Vatican patterns. But after 3 hours of pictures, I gave up. I know this was my mother in laws grandmothers. My mother in law is in her 90’s. I will do my best to answer any questions. Notice there is a serial number under the 1035 number. From my research serial numbers where only put on items before the 1900’s. From 1928 to 1947 they used symbols.
