Identification of hallmarks on hipflask

British Silver

I have inherited my grandfather’s hip flask and was wondering if anyone could decipher the hallmarks? I’m not sure if its silver/silverplated or something else. Im interested to know more about it.

Christopher Johnson & Co, Sheffield. They were in business from 1878 to 1952. Silverplate, so almost no actual silver in it.
