<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 291380, member: 59&quot;]From the left, the first square is the maker&#039;s mark, the next punch is the assayer&#039;s mark over the year of assay, the 84 is the quality mark and the last punch is the city mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could not find the maker on the 925 site. The assayer was Andrey Antonovich Kovalsky (who was registered in Moscow) and the date of 1853 fits with his working dates. The 84 is for 84 zolotniki which equates to silver fineness of .875. The city mark is for Moscow.</p><p><br /></p><p>The maker not being on the Cyrillic alphabet list on the 925 site is not a huge surprise since they don&#039;t necessarily have them all, but it is an open question.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your piece looks like it used to have a handle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
