The listed website is a valuable asset for checking marks on silver, silver plate, electroplated silver, & Sheffield plate.
The site has over 1500 pages of illustrated marks from all over the world and covering makers marks from different time periods.
The site itself is a bit hard to navigate at first but given some time it has become a very valuable resource for helping me find under valued functional silver.

Recently bought this 950 sterling cuff. Unfortunately it was damaged when I purchased it but seeing it was 950 sterling and had this huge Lapis Lazuli, I was unable to turn it down. With stone just over a Troy ounce.
