can you tell me what leads you to believe they are fake marks? Yes, sure. I think I will not make life much easier for falstmakers if I point out one bright mistake. I will not show the rest of the markers. One is enough. The coat of arms of St. Petersburg consists of two anchors and a scepter (a s...

The silver and copper workshop of M Sokolova produced mainly religious items from media, later from silver. Silver household items are almost never found. The annual turnover is not big. Unlike the factory of Maria Semenova, who inherited from her father (Vasily Semenov) a large-scale production of ...

I think, it's workshop of Maria Semyonova.
Original good items.

Of course fake. Made in our lifetime.

Yes, I know something regarding Russian silver but unfortunately far from all, nobody knows it! Unfortunately there are some writers here that think they know all about Russian silver and try to put other attendants down! Cooperating instead of arguing would be a much better alternative for the rea...

Qrt.S, stop putting on a show. You know "Russian silver" well, don't you? I explained to you why they put two testing hallmarks. I explained to you why silver is used. If you do not understand the hallmarking procedure, then check the Rules for hallmarking things made from several precious...

Dear, Qrt.S. Firstly, “…8. In the Russian Federation for jewelry and other household products made of precious metals, the following tests are established: …….. silver 999 (nine hundred ninety ninth) silver 960 (nine hundred sixtieth) silver 925 (nine hundred twenty fifth) silver 875 (eight hundred ...

And this is not a souvenir, but an ordinary precious item from a jewelry store.
Easter egg pendant. A la Faberge.

Mark "960" says that the egg is made of silver (960 standard), and only the ring and pommel are made of gold. Under guilloche enamel only silver.

Hi.

I'm sorry to interrupt your discussion.
But, are the fake hallmarks on this photo frame getting in the way of your search for a master maker?

I think it should get in the way.

Here are the AM-soot marks I promised to show you. Back to my question, who is it, Mitin or Mor/Moor??? https://i.postimg.cc/VLmmM6t4/AM1831.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/dt5Py9wt/AM1852-1876.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/sxK85VF0/AM1852-1877.jpg Are these pictures of yours from the Bäcksbacka book?

#Mart OK, if you say so. This assayer Mitin versus Mor case has always been a mess. Different sources inform "conflicting" information. Ivanov states: Aleksandr Yakolevich Moor/Mor assayer in St. Petersburg 1831, 1850-1867 (in Tobolsk1845-49) Aleksandr Nikolaievich Mitin assayer in St. Pe...

Hi.

To fox333 : It's realy fake.

To AG2012 : This authentic 1874 mark is more correct -

Hi, I will not delve into clarifications regarding the meanings of the terms "assay master," "assayer", "probier," "assay office," etc. This is indeed not interesting for most participants. But I'll explain one question. In 1899, in accordance with the new Tes...

Hi,
it's original Faberge punch.

Postnikova-Loseva, and then Ivanov (repeats) indicate only one master in Petersburg at that time with the initials Ф.Ф. Friedrich Faber, born in 1802. In 1845 he would have been 43. Normal age. Only one objection. The surname is not suitable for making vestments of Orthodox icons. But, everything ha...

Hi!

Nice spoons!

AG2012 . Nobody them (Louis Kuppenheim, Anton Michelsen and David Andersen etc) make such beautiful red enamel as Russian ...)))

Hi With such a set of objects, in addition to the Tolstoy family, the coats of arms were of the Vasilchikov, Danilov and Durnov families. All of them are considered to be the descendants of Indris (Tengris). The Danilovs family coat of arms is more suitable. https://i.postimg.cc/cv6x9fvQ/image.jpg

Hi! Here's another oneversion of the history of the cup. Made in Romania in 1938 (?). Manufacturer "FB". Silver fineness 750 (round mark). In modern times, it is "ennobled" with a fake Russian punch. Arguments: maker's mark "FB", number as on Romanian items, fineness 75...

Hi!

I'm afraid to upset you, but at first glance, the punches do not look original. Cloisonne enamel is being successfully replicated right now. Give a good photo of the punches on both cups.
AG, do not be upset, but this is my experience.
