There is no such thing as 10k silver. Silver purity isn't marked in carats. It's marked in "millesimal fineness." There are a thousand mils in a whole. The purest silver you'll find is "999 fine silver," which is 99.9 percent pure silver.
Based on the mark and purity of the silver it may be. If it's .925, it's much more valuable than silver plate. Of course the age of the IS piece could have a dramatic effect on the price the item will go for.

Generally, pure silver is much heavier than a silver plated object. Pure silver objects such as spoons will also have a stamp somewhere on it that will say "925" or "925/1000." This shows you that the spoon has a silver content of 92.5 percent. Silver plated objects will not have this stamp.
It depends on the purity and weight of the silver as to the value. If it is an unusual rosary, perhaps that will add value.
Most trumpets are made of brass, since silver is much more expensive. Most silver trumpet are really silver plated brass trumpets.
