Hi everyone. I picked these up today. They are pretty nice looking and perhaps worth the price. Does anyone know anything about them? I didn't get much when I searched for them earlier. The mark on the back of the fork, as shown in the third image reads "BORDINI - ITALY".
I would appreciate any info. Thanks everyone!
Hi, BHock45! I'm not familiar with Italian metals goods, so I'd better leave the detection to others. The metal looks like brass to me? Is it brass? Here are some links:

Best wishes for success! Wish I knew something about Italian metals works and could help you out, but I don't. miKKo
mikkochristmas11 - awesome! thanks so much for the help. I was thinking the same thing, brass, possibly silver plated but worn down? I am not sure, but that may have been the case. I will keep you posted.
You're most welcome, sir!
