<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 249121, member: 44"]I have been trying to work with the square/rectangle mark to the left with either PЮ or BЮ. Do y'all think that is the maker's mark? If it is a maker's mark and could be IDed then might know the city and/or country of origin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like Sperls I have enhanced, zoomed in, and inverted to try to make out the first letter. I'm still not sure what it is - P or B. If it was a "P" it would sound sort of like our R, and if a B it would sound like our V. I'm about positive the rest of the mark is the Cyrillic letter "Ю." There is really no equivalent to this letter in Latin, but it may sound like the "u" in the word <span style="color: #ff0000">u</span>se.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
