Help required with AH russian hallmark

[darrenr]

Hi
I'm new to these forums and hope this post is in the right place.
I purchased a silver box many years ago from a London auction house catalogued as part of the estate of Vladamir Calitzine (Provenance bought in by direct descendant)

The box has a hallmark on the top and base which read AH and another mark (which is a little rubbed) but looks like a womens head looking right in a 5 sided lozenge shaped a bit like a bishops hat.

There are no other hallmarks visible

I have spent quite a while looking for these marks and have not managed to find them anywhere on the net..your opinion and help is most appreciated
Many thanks Darrenr

Hi Darrenr,

Welcome to the Forum.

Not Russian, but Austrian. See: http://www.925-1000.com/Faustria_02.html

Cheers Trev
Very helpful and thank you

1 last question "AH"
Do you know who the maker is?

[dognose]

I don't, but hopefully someone with better resources can identify the maker.

Ok thanks
The Austrian part was most helpful..
The auction house that i originally purchased it from had it catalogued as Russian (a respectable major London auction house lol)

ps the makers mark could be AK or AH
anyone else?

TIA
