<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 8170192, member: 78949&quot;]Thanks for the images!</p><p>So what I see from left to right:</p><p>1. A Kokoshnik head, which is the same as the single one on the dauber (plug). They both have a dot behind the head in the middle, and a bar below the neck. So far haven&#039;t come across this mark but it is after 1908 and it is not Warsaw (which lacks the bar below the neck)</p><p><br /></p><p>2. The maker&#039;s initials are definitely in Cyrillic and are ФР . There is a maker with these initials in the same cartouche, from Kostroma region (Krasnoselska and Sidorovska sub-regions), Ferapont Razsadin who worked at the end of XIX and beginning of XX c. in Krasnoe Village, Kostroma region - image 1100 from here:</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">Каталог клейм золотых и серебряных изделий Царской России XV-XXвв - Антикварные клейма (kleima.ru)</a></p><p>There is no Moscow maker with these initials according to the above source.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. moreofthestuff, you (and Any) were right, the third oval mark with 84 is a kokoshnik, from before 1908, congrats for the sharp eyes!</p><p>It does look like Moscow assayer Ivan Lebedkin mark as Laura stated in her first post. From here, image No 3878</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">Каталог клейм золотых и серебряных изделий Царской России XV-XXвв - Антикварные клейма (kleima.ru)</a></p><p>But there is an assayer from Kostroma with the same initials ИЛ (the image with maker&nbsp; BC)</p><p><a href="http://rus-antiques.ru/glavnaya/biblioteka/yuvelirnoe-iskusstvo/fotokatalog-klejm-zolotyh-i-serebryanyh-del-masterov-rossiyskoi-imperii/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rus-antiques.ru/glavnaya/biblioteka/yuvelirnoe-iskusstvo/fotokatalog-klejm-zolotyh-i-serebryanyh-del-masterov-rossiyskoi-imperii/" rel="nofollow">Фотокаталог клейм золотых и серебряных дел мастеров Российской империи (rus-antiques.ru)</a></p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, the above excludes Warsaw and Moscow, and leads to Kostroma region, maker Ferapont Razsadin,&nbsp; made around 1908 (as suggested by moreofthestuff) when the marking rules changed which can explain the presence of both pre-1908 and after 1908 marks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
