<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 146283, member: 44&quot;]The circle is the finesse mark. The finesse is 84 zolotniks that is .875 silver. The circle has a profile of a woman&#039;s head facing left wearing a diadem. Under the head are initials of the assayer. I&#039;m not sure what the letters on yours. This is what Tardy&#039;s International Hallmarks on Silver, p. 373 says:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;In 1896 a national mark was introduced. It consisted of the left profile of a wonan&#039;s head wearing a diadem. Each district was supervised by an assayer who put his mark bext to the woman&#039;s head.</p><p><br /></p><p>From 1908 to 1917 the wonan&#039;s head looked right and was followed by the district number...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>With the woman facing left means your item was assayed between 1896 and 1908. Don&#039;t know the rest of the markings yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
