    Pic size was way too big. What are the makers marks on the knife? It's hard to identify a pattern without a maker.

    That's a fairly simple pattern & it's monogrammed. It's probably worth looking up if possible but in most cases simple patterns with monograms are worth more as bullion. They look old enough to have fairly thick sterling handles. I'd estimate between 2 & 3 troy ounces of silver total.

    think your total is a lil high I would say 1.5-1.75 max as total weight

    Yeah, I'm with creeper here. Can't tell for sure, but the handles look like they are filled. So you would have cut them open and empty out the insides to get the real value of these. Probably easier to sell as is instead of doing more work and then taking them somewhere or sending them in.
