Is it modern lead free pewter, or is it old pewter that contains lead?

Modern lead-free pewter tends to stay bright while pewter containing lead tends to darken and have a dull appearance. Based on the pics, I would say the lot contains both. For example, the tea pot and cream and sugar set appear to me to be lead pewter, while the goblets appear to be lead free.
Just my guess

Most lead free modern pewter is marked to identify it as such. But, foreign import “pewter” could be anything, and unmarked.

If you’re interested in certain pieces, Id be happy to take pictures of any markings or other details. This lot can be divided.
