Victorian Silver teapot

[notts6501]

I have a Victorian Silver Teapot. Hopefully picture attached with various marks on the bottom.
The engraving on it is dated October 1984.

Can anyone tell me what the marks are, purity of silver.. It weights 670g

Hi Dave,

Welcome to the Forum.

I hope I don't disappoint you too much, but your teapot is not silver.

And for the maker, see James Dixon & Sons of Sheffield at: http://www.925-1000.com/silverplate_D2.html
