Could you describe those hallmarks in detail for me they are a little hard to make out in the picture. Just based off the pictures it has potential to be silver but without holding it in my own hand I couldn't really tell you for sure.
you might see if you can find the hallmarks here to see if its silver
Online Encyclopedia of Silver Marks, Hallmarks & Makers' Marks

I find pewter a bit harder to identify but one way is to follow this guide.

good luck hopefully someone more experienced can help you right off the bat!

It looks like silver or silver plate to me.Any wear on the handle?Look for signs of plating if theres a lot of wear.

I'm wondering if it would help if we determined what it was used for first?
Kinda' looks like a bonbon spoon to me. Just food for thought.
