Reinforced Deposit is one step down from Sterling Silver, usually also accompanied by "A1" and the weight in pennyweights (DWTS) printed on the backs of a set of British silver forks & spoons; (the knives to my set are Sheffield Made Firth Stainless with bone handles). I believe this old set of English silver is at least 100 years old. Soup spoons & dinner forks say 25 DWTS, meaning 25 pennyweights of silver. Smaller forks & dessert-spoons each say 18 DWTS, and the teaspoons say 12 DWTS.

Appearance: There is no wearing through of the silver on any of these pieces, & every piece has an extra round deposit of silver (Reinforced Deposit) at the places where EPNS usually wears through, where the fork/spoon rests on the table or plate. This is a set for 6 people, so there are 3 tiny salter spoons too, that's one salter spoon between each 2 people; 1 salter spoon is bigger, presumably for the Head of Household. Hint: I keep my silver untarnished by keeping a small block of Camphor in the chest - you can buy some at the pharmacy.

Oh, dude, Wm Rogers reinforced plate AA IS on flatware means it's silverplate made by the William Rogers Manufacturing Company. The "AA" stands for the quality of the silver plating, and "IS" likely refers to the International Silver Company, which acquired Rogers in the 1890s. So, like, it's just fancy talk for saying your flatware is silver plated and probably pretty old school.
