<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 7625227, member: 78949&quot;]Just to say that as far as I can see from the current photos, the maker&#039;s mark is not in Cyrillic which is rather unusual. The first letter I don&#039;t discern and then it is &quot;R&quot; which is not a letter from the Cyrillic alphabet. I am no expert but as far as I know only Faberge produced items with his mark in Latin for export and these items were all equipped also with a serial number. Also some of his masters with foreign names used Latin marks but they are known and I don&#039;t recall anyone with second letter R.</p><p>Also the kokoshnik looks somehow unusual.</p><p>There are many resources in Russian about Imperial Russia and later USSR silver and gold marks. If there are better photos of the marks, maybe it will be easier to decipher the maker.</p><p>louri, I assume that the maker&#039;s mark is the one next to the kokoshnik but in a separate cartouche/square, and then it comes in a third cartouche the finess 84 and the city mark - it also looks to me as St. Petersburg but can&#039;t be sure as Moscow at some point also used the two-head eagle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
