«…Under Maria’s direction and thanks to a skilled team of craftsmen the company flourished, by 1905 it counted 100 employees….» Indeed, such a number (100) is given in 1905, but only in 1905. Both before 1905 and after, the number of employees is usually 25-35. In 1916, only 8. «…In imperial Russia ...
I didn't attribute these brands. But there are letters "ГТВ" and I'm always interested in what fake makers use. Information about the silversmith "ITB" will not be superfluous from my point of view..
«... vague information and sources» .... Is that what you call my information from an official source that a person had a silver workshop? It's your own business. And what sources are given in the books of PL and Ivanov? 1. There is a brand of ФМ, not Ф"М". 2. Address books give a lot of i...

I'm sorry Mart, but your explanation is not fully correct... I am very glad that there is a person who believes that I am always wrong))) About a month ago, I tried very hard to explain to you a very simple question about the St. Petersburg assayer "AM". As a result, I received quite rude...
1. Estonian silversmiths branded their products in Revel (Tallinn) until the 1890s. They did not have the right to brand products in another region. The stamp of the Estonian master "JAL" should be found next to the coat of arms of Revel, and not sent to St. Petersburg. 2. There are a lot ...
