by electroplating the spoon
You can differentiate between a stainless steel spoon and a silver spoon by examining their weight and appearance. Stainless steel is typically heavier and has a matte finish, while silver is lighter and has a shinier appearance due to its high reflectivity. Additionally, you can perform a magnet test as stainless steel is magnetic whereas silver is not.
Generally, pure silver is much heavier than a silver plated object. Pure silver objects such as spoons will also have a stamp somewhere on it that will say "925" or "925/1000." This shows you that the spoon has a silver content of 92.5 percent. Silver plated objects will not have this stamp.

There is no such thing as 'silver steel' - it is tool steel that has been chrome plated for a better appearance.
Sterling silver is denser than stainless steel, meaning it has more mass in the same volume. This density difference is why a sterling silver spoon will weigh more than a stainless steel spoon of the same size.

Sure, you can eat it, but it'll tarnish the silver. Use stainless steel.
It's not silver plated. See the related question below for more information.
It probably means that you have a spoon with a maker's hallmark on it. I'm not familiar with that particular hallmark but it's likely silver or at least sliver plated.
