I stumble into this kovsh with a maker's mark of Klingert that I have never seen before i.e Г.Г.КЛИНГЕРТЪ. The mark is on the bottom's outside. Klingert's forenames were undoubtedly Gustav Gustavovich but I cannot recall ever seeing Г.Г. in front of his surname in a mark. In addition, what is the mark, a lyre, above his name? There are no more marks on the kovsh (should be) and it is neither enameled or in niello, so?????...The hallmark looks OK, but still...I'm very doubtful....
I would appreciate some opinions...
G.G.KLINGERT!?

Never seen or recorded mark and uneven lettering.
Kovsh not well made - particularly the handle is poor, and soldering.

OK , thank you AG2012. Nothing more to add than that the kovsh i a dubious object.
