No its silver plate. EPNS stands for Electro Plated Nickel Silver.
"EP" on silver typically stands for "electroplated," indicating that the item is not solid silver but rather coated with a thin layer of silver through electroplating. "NS" may stand for "Nickel Silver," which is an alloy of nickel, copper, and zinc that closely resembles silver but does not actually contain any silver.
Ns doesn't have a specific meaning in the periodic table. Elements in the periodic table are represented by their chemical symbol, atomic number, and atomic mass. If you're referring to a specific element or compound denoted as "Ns," please provide more context.
group 3- (n-1)d1 ns2. Group 12 (n-1)d10 ns2, groups 4-11 do not necessarily have identical outer electron configurations. Where n represents your period that you are in.
The elements with electron configurations that end in ns 2 and np 5 are found in Group 17 of the periodic table, known as the halogens. This group includes elements such as fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At).
The general electron configuration for atoms in Group 5A is ns^2 np^3, where "n" represents the principal energy level. This group includes elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth.

Electro-plated nickel silver
Okay - I'm no expert but... 1898 would suggest the year of manufacture. EP would suggest 'electroplating' - meaning the piece is not solid silver, but a thin veneer of pure silver electrostatically plated over a cheaper metal. NS suggests the base piece is made from an alloy of Nickel Silver.
The "NS" stamp on a miniature silver spoon typically indicates that the piece is made of nickel silver, also known as "German silver." This alloy contains nickel, copper, and zinc, but does not contain any actual silver. It is often used for items that require a silver-like appearance without the cost of real silver. Always check with a reputable source or expert for specific identification, as markings can vary.
Nickel Silver
It is nickel silver... no actual silver content.
If a piece of jewerly bears the SN mark stamp one is reading it upside down. The mark stamp actually says NS. NS means that the jewelery is made from gold, silver and nickel, where nickel and silver are the base metal.
The NS mark on jewelry can be either: Newburyport Silver Company of Keene, NH National Silver Company
Update BS NS in your resume mean
In Objective C NS means NextStep.
In [[wiki/Telecommunication|telecommunication]], provisioning is the process of preparing and equipping a network to allow it to provide (new) services to its users. In [[wiki/NS/EP telecommunications|NS/EP telecommunications]] services, "provisioning" equates to "initiation" and includes altering the state of an existing priority service or capability.

NS on jewelry typically stands for "Nickel Silver," a metal alloy made of nickel, copper, and zinc, often used as a less expensive alternative to sterling silver. Unlike sterling silver, nickel silver does not contain any actual silver, but it can have a similar appearance. It’s important to note that some people may have allergic reactions to nickel, so it's advisable to check for sensitivities before wearing items marked NS.
