<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 249275, member: 44&quot;]According to the following page, the head with the hammer is the:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Hallmark of Moskovsky District: Worker head with hammer with assay mark&quot; for 1927-1954</p><p><a href="http://hallmarkwiki.com/?ShowHallmark=15640" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://hallmarkwiki.com/?ShowHallmark=15640" rel="nofollow">http://hallmarkwiki.com/?ShowHallmark=15640</a></p><p><a href="http://hallmarkwiki.com/?key=&amp;country=Russia&amp;province=&amp;p=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://hallmarkwiki.com/?key=&amp;country=Russia&amp;province=&amp;p=0" rel="nofollow">http://hallmarkwiki.com/?key=&amp;country=Russia&amp;province=&amp;p=0</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Nowww that particular site with Russian silver marks doesn&#039;t show the mark with 2 dots. Also I don&#039;t know how reliable the site is??</p><p><br /></p><p>I have found a couple of pieces of Russian silver with 875 rather than 84 on eBay and as we all know eBay is noted for erroneous descriptions.

I can only find one of them now. I forgot to bookmark the other one.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Just found mention of the worker&#039;s head with hammer, but has one dot under the head. They are dating it 1927 to 1958.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;According to my reference book; World Hallmarks Volum1 Europe 19th to 21st Centuries, the Soviet domestic hallmark of the Soviet worker’s head facing right with a hammer was used from 1927 until 1958.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, etc.... replies:</p><p><a href="http://925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40397" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40397" rel="nofollow">http://925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40397</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Farther down in the query it says the 5 pointed star with hammer &amp; sickle replaced the worker and hammer in 1959. In 1954 the workers head changed from being in a oval to being in other shapes. About replies # 7&amp;8.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000">Bakers</span>, look at p. 374 in Tardy&#039;s International Hallmarks on Silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do note the assay mark has .875. If this info is correct this cup dates from c1928 to c1954??[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
