<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 107696, member: 111"]Russian silver is desirable in all forms, less so in the last few years with the existence of so many fakes becoming common knowledge, have seen very simple pieces with faked marks so bad that even I could tell, and sometimes genuine old pieces from elsewhere will be overstamped with Russian marks. I am not at all qualified to say whether your spoons are fake or not, the two larger look good to me, but I don't know much - their typical Russian form is a good sign in my mind, but again, not my area...</p><p><br /></p><p>Usually I just ignore posts on old Russian silver, not wanting to get involved, but you seemed interested in learning more, and if they're 'right', you'd have confirmation, so thought the Russian Forum guys might be helpful - fair warning, they can be a cantankerous bunch (with one exception), but they generally like the ladies. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
