    Silver plate usually says EPNS - electro plated nickel silver. So the abscence of those letters- plus the hall marks- might mean you've got the genuine article. I wish I knew more about this stuff I watch the antiques roadshow but thats about it.

    sorry downunder it's silver plate  :'( on UK silver there is a lion, a date letter, a makers mark & usually a assay office mark/ town mark.

      Hi downunder,is it defiantly a spoon the bottom looks very flat? or is the bit you put in your mouth missing.On the first pic  does it have other markings, can we see a close up?
