Hi!

Anyone recognizes this maker, looks like AH (AN in cryllic?).
I believe there are a kokoshnik mark for s:t petersburg 1908-1926.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
The mark is ``the second Kokoshnik`` used from 1908 – 1926 with Hellenic letters indicating the assay office. In this case it`s Alpha for St Petersburg.
Maker`s mark AH needs further search.

Hi!

Thanks for your answer!
I also guessed it was the second kokoshnik mark and the letter was alpha for s:t petersburg!
I will keep on searching for the maker!
This is the only one I have found with the same letters: https://www.google.se/search?q=anders+j ... bFtZgYM%3A

It`s always tricky with the initials that may be either Latin or Cyrillic.
Have you inspected the leather lining? Sometimes one can find full names stamped on leather.

Sorry, I did not quite understand the discussion you sent me. Was Adam Herttuainen the maker?

Hi!

Are you sure it is not August Wilhelm Holmström?


Thank you for your answers!

The quality of the purse is not even close to what Holmström produced. He is out of question. I'm also a bit skeptical him being Adam Herttuainen. The difficulty is that we don't know are the initials Latin or Cyrillic and there are still a lot of unknown makers in Russia.
