[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 6737, member: 59"]I don't know anything close to everything about Russian marks, but can tell you a few things that you can confirm via the link I'm going to attach. The quality stamp (lady's head and 88) indicates that the silver was assayed at .916 silver (not quite the sterling equivalent of .925, but close) between 1908 and 1926 (when the lady faced the number) in Moscow (the triangle or "delta" behind her head.) See here to confirm (you'll need to get the details via links on that page.)

Is there more on the left or is that a reflection from taking the picture?[/QUOTE]
