John,

    if it sayes sterling , then it is very likely sterling silver, if it
    sayes 925 it very likely is 925. if it does not say anything but the
    maker, then it is not sterling silver. Note that english silver is
    marked with a lion passant. check out this site

    life can be simple sometimes. 

Robert
