Hi welcome to the forum.
To me your images are clear, although I believe the marks to be spurious.

Hi,
Marks of assayer Alexander Mitin 1842 - 1877 in Sankt-Peterburg and
master Nikolai Nikitin (PL 1365).

Although typical mid-19th century neo Baroque, silver samovar is always suspicious for bearing faked marks.

The form of the samovar matches mid 19th century rather rare Russian examples (teapot is missing at the top,though).His marks are often very distorted. Cannot be sure, too many fakes around.

Hi!

The samovar is typical to its appearance for mid 19th century Russian silver with a neorococo outlook which was very fashioned at the time, however I myself would consider it authentic and a quality object to its appearance and valuable at the time. The marks seems as expected from the time somewhat worn due to the timeless polishings. I very nice find!

Hello!
Not Mitin, but Alexander Yakovlevich Mor (Moor). Once I was also mistaken ... See here:
