<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 6761, member: 56"]The piece in the Royal collection does not show a picture of the marks (unless I'm missing it). I'll certainly concede that it does say "<i>C. Fabergé</i> in Cyrillic characters; STERLING RUSSIA in Roman letters", but there's no mention of the Royal warrant. One of the books I'm looking at even shows the Faberge name and Royal warrant as separate marks. Both books agree that the Feodor Ruckert mark is Ф.Р.</p><p><br /></p><p>The quality of the work isn't helping your case. I still think the mark is fake, but I have been wrong before.</p><p><br /></p><p>That squiggle to the left of the Faberge mark: maybe one of the silver people can say if that looks like an assay mark, and what it might mean.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
