Hi all - found a bowl (H 13 cm, D 21 cm) with 3 ballfeet an 3 handles. Moscow 1908-17, 5th Artel. All parts orderly marked. What was the original use of this object? I use it for flowers :-) http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd334/Postnicov/p01-2.jpg http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd334/Postnic...

Hi -
apropos head. You got off topic again. We all wait for your wise decision re Ringo´s last spoon. Is it fake or not? You as master of the different punch sizes must know...

Hi all -
Now we have a solution - there is light in the tunnel!

Hi Ringo - here are the known different marks of J.(I.) Kopf (1896-1930) -just to remember: http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd334/Postnicov/kopf.gif The "normal" explanation would be: Russian spoon, Kokoshnik St. Petersburg 1908-1926, maker ЕП (Pankratev E.G. 1898-1908), brought/sold ...

Hi -

These sheepish discussions off topic lead nowhere! If you feel better: your da man! I know nothing... There is still a problem pending - so use your exorbitant knowledge and explain to us nerds what is the matter with this spoons and this strange mark. At least try with own words...no more quotation...

Without experience you must believe in every book - where else you have the opportunity to see marks - mayby on the forum? By the way there a revised editions of P-L, Edition "UNVES" and "TRIO" 1995, ISBN 5-88682-002-7 and ISBN5-8872-003-0! 1995-1963 = 32 years of new information...

Hi all - I got a pocket watch but have no clue what it is. (Marks, maker, type etc.) Maybe some of the experts can help to enlighten me! Many thanks in advance Regards Postnikov http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd334/Postnicov/R0010783.jpg http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd334/Postnicov/R001078...

Hi eleazar -

please read the several articles about enamel cloisonné and how to distinguish authentic from contemporary (fake) objects on this forum.

Dear Silverport - Maybe I did not understand your article 100 % but it is perhaps important to explain the connections of the different threads to you. As you might know no other silver/enamel/niello is so much faked than Russian Imperial objects. 98% of the queries on this board have with lookalike...

Hi all - all my questions stay unanswered. The mantra like repetition of book textes help nobody - everybody knows them already! What helps are own observations, findings and examples (please not from Ivanov or from obscure internet sites). If there are none - it is better to be silent. Rudeness hel...

Hi all - this is an open forum where everybody can express his/her opinion - if he/she has one! And there is no obligation to believe what is written - it´s no dogma - it is the attempt to clear the fog. Common sense and experience is asked, doubts and mistakes are alowed to come to a satisfaying r...

Hi tugley -
all the informations you got are on point. Only the erotic enamel plaque is not original and was later added. In Russia a cigarette case with visible erotica was unthinkable.

Hi Piette -

Hi Piette -
there was a long discussion on this board about these marks. Just go back and read.
My opinion: both marks come always together and are fakes.

Hi Ringo - the spoon is real a riddle. Sometimes you find Russian spoons with engravings you do not understand easy - prisoners of war, Russian-Germans, presents, souvenirs with different, to us unknown backgrounds, etc. Here a photo for better understanding: http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd334...

Hi Argentum49 - The only pattern with leather belt and buckles are the cigarette cases simulating a suitcase with engraved handles on the side, but in plain silver. A picture help more than thousand words. Here you go: a plain Russian cigarette case , only with strap/belt and buckle. No cartouche! T...
