Hi Qrt.S!
Thanks for your reply. But Janis Betiņš was born in 1874 and did not start his activity that year. In 1891 he was only 17 years old...
V.Vilite mentions Johann Joachim Heinrich Bonatz from Saldus (No. 972) who was known in 1870-1898. Maybe JB it's him...

There are only the maker's mark (IHL or JHL) and an inconspicuous dedicatory inscription in German: “Aus Liebe von Johann Bauser 1848”. I will be...

Assayer Mikhail Karpinsky worked in Moscow in 1800-1824. Since 1825 he worked in St.Petersburg. Hence the year on the hallmark is 1820.

Two makers with the same last name in different countries at the same time? Very interesting! What source of the
information about Vilno?

Hi Theoderich!
Many thanks for your quick and useful reply!

Hello!

Hello!
Russia, Moscow. The maker П.А.Л. is Пётр Алексеевич Ломов (Pyotr Alekseevich Lomov), the assayer И.А. is Иван Авдеев (Ivan Avdeev). Very nice item!

In addition to the discussion, I would like to present the portrait of Ivan Lebedkin.
