<p>[QUOTE="RuthEP, post: 9752901, member: 84346"]You've helped me solve this mystery bon bon dish (<a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/russian-and-english-marks.83581/#post-9736722" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/russian-and-english-marks.83581/#post-9736722">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/russian-and-english-marks.83581/#post-9736722</a>) but the 916 mark, ostensibly a 1927 soviet remarking of English silver, remains not fully solved. I found fully oval 916 marks used between 1927-1958 on items heavier than 10g, and the shovel shape used during this period on items lighter than 10g. My mark is a truncated oval, and is not addressed anywhere I could find. I found one Russian mark guide, out of context and in Russian (which I can't read), showing this mark. It features the star which came into use only after 1958. So this mark is somewhere in between. Can anyone shed more light?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]478901[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]478902[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
