Is flatware marked with Alaska 96 warranted sterling silver or silver plate of value?

Flatware marked with "Alaska 96" is typically silver-plated rather than warranted sterling silver. The "96" often indicates a year or a specific design related to Alaska, but it does not guarantee the piece is made of sterling silver, which must be marked with "925" or "sterling." While silver-plated items can have value, their worth is generally less than that of sterling silver, depending on the brand, age, and condition.
