Can you take a few minutes with the flask and a magnifying glass, and look around all over it for any marks at all. If you can find any, a picture of them would certainly help.

My wife and I both looked at it with a magnifying glass and all we saw was on the bottom of the cup, it looked like a piece of tape was on it and discoloration around it and a small hole, the diameter of the lead in a pencil near the rim of the cup on the side..  I don't think either would show up in a photo.

Thanks!

Well, if you checked it thoroughly inside and out and there are no hallmarks that most likely means it's silver plated and not sterling, but you might take it to a jeweler or even a pawn shop and have them look for a mark, they generally have a jewelers loupe and know where to look for them, and if none are found have them acid test it to see if it is silver (a service most will offer for free) just make sure they do their testing in a discrete location on the piece so that if it is plated you won't have a big ugly mark in an obvious spot.
