[JollyKillBill]

So I bought a silver spoon and I'm need of some help identifying the hallmarks

I don't even know where to begin

First off is it even sterling silver?

Thanks in advance

James Dixon & Sons, Sheffield.

Some of their stuff is nickel plated...

The first corporate mark of the trumpet (bugle) and banner was granted in 1879, and the second with the name was added in 1890. Some authors claims that the trumpet with banner trade mark was officially registered in 1881 though being in use prior to that.
The "Trumpet and Banner" identifies without doubt Dixon's production. It is a fundamental element to prevent mistakes with the marks "JD & S" used by another Sheffield manufacturer, James Deakin & Sons

Gosh darn it I'm goooood. What do I win?

Well that sucks, thanks guys. I'm pretty glad I didn't pay too much for it, but still
