Re: Is this real silver?

I think maybe I should. Do you have a suggestion of what book to read? Silver spoons and tin plates, imagine that.

Re: Is this real silver?

yes I saw that, but considering their age, I think they look pretty good. Is that from spooning things out of a bowl? They are both worn the same way. I wonder if they were ever used for a restaurant or catering, maybe a wedding planner used them?
Once again, many thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Re: Is this real silver?

Hi, sorry I haven't been back here. I found out that this site doesn't work with my Firefox so I tried Explorer.

Ok, I only have one spoon with the assayer mark by Karpinskij. The other two are assayer AH? AR?

From left to right: Townmark of St. Petersburg. Assayer АЯ = Jutschinov ...

Re: Is this real silver?

What I've found out is that Karl Fischer is the maker, Mikail Mikhaìlovich Karpinskiì is the assayer. I need to figure out what the 84 is.

Can anyone tell me about Karl Fischer? I know he is the silversmith that made my spoons, but I can't find a thing about him nor do I see any silverware made ...

Is this real silver?

I found 3 spoons in a box of flatware I got at a garage sale. They cleaned up like silver, but I am no expert. I would appreciate some help because I didn't find anything on the silver marks website.
