I believe this is a Sheffield mark but I really do not know much about these things. Please take a look for me, thanks.

Update:

New acid test, confirms opinion only silverplate. Also notived a "brassy" color when looking from bottom into stem. I was wondering why there is engraved numbers on the bottom. I usually see that only on expensive, insured pieces.

Excellent, so many thoughtful participants, thanks to all.

Oh my!

Thank you for looking into the mystery mark. I have no provenance on the piece, it's just something I picked up in a shop because it looked interesting.

Thank you for the suggestion. For what's it's worth, here's the obscured mark:

I'd appreciate your time to look at the mark on what is likely a silverplate chalice/goblet. The legible mark is U.S.A., in addition to a numerical type mark that appears to be "88". Do you know the manufacturer?

Aha, thank you! Did Google a bit and needed to translated since every description was in either Spanish or French. The following description verifies your information (taken from Todocoleccion website): "Description:

Thank you for clarify the term for me. This reading indicated silver when I performed an acid/scratch test. The liquid was red along the scratch mark and it came up red when I blotted the area on a paper towel.
