EPNS A1 is the highest grade of silver plating that the manufacturer provides. EPNS = Electroplated Nickel Silver A1 = the thickness of the silver plating which is usually 30 - 35 Microns. Highest Grade of Silver plating. The higher the grade, the longer the cutlery will last. 35 Microns of EPNS will last approximately 40years, but this depends on usage, storage and care.

EPNS stands for Electro-Plated Nickel Siver. A1 denotes the highest quality of the manufacturer (usually the thickness of the plating). Lower quallities are usually labelled A, 1 or B.
I don't think so, i have my grandmas EPNS 100 silver set, and she use to send it to be plated from time to time.
The acronym EPNS stands for electroplated nickel silver. This is commonly seen on silver flatware and serving pieces. It is the most common of all the stamps seen on these items.

Tarnished stainless steel flatware can be cleaned with warm soapy water. For tougher stains immersing the flatware in boiling water will remove stains.
Al The "A1" mark is sometimes found on the reverse side of silver plated flatware and refers to the quality of the silver plate, i.e. "A1" is the best quality for that manufacturer. Lower qualities are usually referred to as "1" or "A", "B" etc..
I would not recommend using lemon juice or tamarind to clean flatware. Both are slightly acidic, and you should avoid contact with acids as much as possible. It might them look better temporarily, but in the end it will ruin the flatware.See the Web Links to the left for pages about how to clean flatware and silver.
Your the expert. If i knew how to clean it i wouldn;t be asking you.
