re Silverware... If it is sterling, use it for the day to day eating utensils. Toss out the stainless steel stuff and just use it. Silver is good for you.
The previous reference to the hollow knife handles is correct. Frequently the blades are stainless steel as well. When I guesstimate a knife weight, I price it like less than a small teaspoon.
If it is English there are plenty of online hallmark ID's out there, look up "online encyclopedia of silver marks" The walking lion is the mark for sterling.
