    This is the only photograph I have, as I don't own it, but have an opportunity to buy it for €10.

    There are two marks, and I cannot do any better than what I have here.

    I've never seen one with that sort of decoration that was anything but 1950s/1960s silverplate. Not that it couldn't happen, but I've never seen one. The mottled tarnish looks like someone had it wrapped in plastic wrap.

    Agree. Likely to be heavy (but not silver.)

    The seller refers to it as "silverware".

    It's silver plate as already mentioned. I see no recognizable silver marks in any area you pointed out. Can we see a picture of the back of the tray?

    Sadly not, I don't have one, and France is now asleep. Will try tomorrow.

    I DO see two areas of interest, but sadly, there’s just too much
    Tarnish on it to go any further.......
