<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 8051728, member: 78949&quot;]I have been reading the Russian forum I posted back (for my own research), and there is a huge thread about pre 1917 silver (and many other things, too, incl Faberge) and the opinion of the experienced there is that if there are contradictory marks as periods it is a red lamp. I mean no one is sure, of course, but they advice to stay away from these (I guess that they have seen more forgeries than authentic items with re-stamp, especially when it comes to expensive items). As there is a part of the forum for sales, many users first ask for attribution and appraisal, and then post it for sale, this is how it works. I don&#039;t imply anything, I just retell what I have read there.</p><p><br /></p><p>B.t.w they have many threads about Faberge items, and very interesting ones.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Could be, yes.</p><p>IMO, all marks should be read as a complex. I mean there can be dots or letters on the kokoshnik heads which we cannot see now (not on the one on the stem which is visible, on the other two) and which also give information. Also the maker&#039;s&nbsp; mark is important to be deciphered.</p><p>Well, during that time it was the same country, only different cities in it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
