I have inherited a silver service for twelve
but I can't identify the mark. S (star) F with three stars under, and also the number 84. I don't even know if it is sterling or plate. The set was a wedding gift in 1928 but I don't know if it was new or an antique at that time. I would appreciate any help.

It would be helpful if you would post a photo of the pattern and of the marks.
Depending on the cartouch and typeface "84" typically is an indication of Russian solid silver (875/1000).
