<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 9070393, member: 78949&quot;]Thanks, Figtree3!</p><p><br /></p><p>So from left to right:</p><p><br /></p><p>two headed eagle (symbol of Russian Empire and Romanov dynasty), as far as I am informed, only suppliers to the Imperial court had the right to put it on their items, this right was granted by the Emperor with a special order. Ovchinnikov was one of them, also Faberge was, there are others, too;</p><p><br /></p><p>below the eagle is the name of P.Ovchinnikov in Cyrillic (Pavel Ovchinnikov), so the item was indeed made in Ovchinnikov&#039;s workshop (he used to sell other workshops items, too). He was one of the biggest producers and retailers of silver items in&nbsp; Tsarist Russia.</p><p>Some info about Ovchinnikov in English</p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;url=https://www.pushkinantiques.com/pavel-ovchinnikov&amp;ved=2ahUKEwippaiVit_9AhVCcvEDHSIlCRkQFnoECA4QAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw0r4Vy3ggWmxQz5sUH0V7ar" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;url=https://www.pushkinantiques.com/pavel-ovchinnikov&amp;ved=2ahUKEwippaiVit_9AhVCcvEDHSIlCRkQFnoECA4QAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw0r4Vy3ggWmxQz5sUH0V7ar" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;url=https://www.pushkinantiques.com/pavel-ovchinnikov&amp;ved=2ahUKEwippaiVit_9AhVCcvEDHSIlCRkQFnoECA4QAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw0r4Vy3ggWmxQz5sUH0V7ar</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: next right is the assayer mark in rectangular cartouche, below his initials is the year of putting the mark 1885, i.e. the making of the item. About the assayer&#039;s mark, I need a better photo but it seams either АФ or ЛФ.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next is 84 zolotnik mark, 84 zolohnik is equal to 875 silver content,</p><p><br /></p><p>Next is the city mark of Moscow, the coat of arm of Moscow before 1889, St. George with a spear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
