<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 7666705, member: 78949&quot;]Edit, after Any&#039;s posting again of the mark, I think that the first letter is Ф with a dot followed by Р with a dot, and not R, as I previously thought. There is a maker from St. Petersburg with these initials (appears both in oval and square cartouche) - Ruch Fyodor Andreevich (Руч Федoр Андреевич) who used to make enamel and silver items till 1908. From here, a database with Imperial Russia (IR) silver and gold marks:</p><p><a href="https://kleima.ru/katalog-klejm-zolotyx-i-serebryanyx-izdelij-carskoj-rosii-xv-xxvv/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://kleima.ru/katalog-klejm-zolotyx-i-serebryanyx-izdelij-carskoj-rosii-xv-xxvv/" rel="nofollow">https://kleima.ru/katalog-klejm-zolotyx-i-serebryanyx-izdelij-carskoj-rosii-xv-xxvv/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>But</p><p>1. His initials are given without dots</p><p>2. He is from St.Petersburg which contradicts the assay marker/certifier Lebedkin from Moscow mentioned as already established truth in the first post. In the above database of IR marks there is no Moscow maker with such initials.</p><p>3. He is given as a maker till 1908, and the Kokoshnik mark points that the item is after 1908.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
