HI Qrt.S

Many thanks for your reply.
I spend hours searching for other assayers and makers for these marks but nothing came up. The only other one I found was Ivan Andreyevich Ado but he started from 1899 onwards

Can you recommend any good books for these details?

So there must be somebody else using the same assay marks as the spoon is made in 1888? The makers marks HG I have...

Many thanks for your answer.
That confirms it that it is Russian and not Latvian.

Hi, I purchased this compact and think this might be Russian instead of Latvian? I think the mark just after the purity mark is the Leningrad Assay office mark? Also , does anybody know who the maker might be? https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg
