<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 7668743, member: 78949&quot;]About the city mark:</p><p>The city mark next to 84 mark looks like a rider on a horse and holding something. If so:</p><p><br /></p><p>I read that the city mark of Moscow was the coat of arms of Moscow - till 1883 it was St. George - a rider on a horse with a spear aiming at a snake at the hoofs of the horse, and facing right. And this is what the city mark on the item looks like to me.</p><p>But from 1883 till 1917 the coat of arm of Moscow was different, it was a rectangular shield with a crown and two crossed sceptres behind, and in its middle was the same rider but facing left. (here: <a href="https://f-gl.ru/гербы-стран-мира/герб-россии/гербы-регионов-россии/герб-москвы" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://f-gl.ru/гербы-стран-мира/герб-россии/гербы-регионов-россии/герб-москвы" rel="nofollow">https://f-gl.ru/гербы-стран-мира/герб-россии/гербы-регионов-россии/герб-москвы</a>)</p><p>So the kokoshnik mark tells 1908 onward, and the Moscow city mark tells 1883 backwards. Combined with what appears to be St Petersburg maker&#039;s initials. Something is not quite right there...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
