Hi - yes saw it, but with shield under communistic marks. The Latvian gold mark in use since 1922 , optical optimized and in this form (like the one of the cigarette case) used since 1927 gives the appr. date when the case could have been imported to the Soviet Union - what I miss is the official im...

Hi Qrt.S -

the original Russian text for PN:

1.) P-L p. 149, # 55
2.) Troepolskaja no entry (!!)
3.) Geoffry Watts even don´t know that this mark exists
4.) E. G. Astwatzaturjan no entry (only Kafkas)

You must read your books better! ;-)

Hi Qrt.S - to sweeten your dark and lonely winter evenings, here is a German (I suppose) lady´s cigarette case made by Louis Kuppenheim/Pforzheim , imported to Riga with the Russian import mark. I have several German cigarette cases in my collection which were imported to Russia and vice versa. The...

Dear Qrt.S - very, very slowly I start to hate you!! :-) Next time I am in Helsinki I will sell you the cigarette case as original "Serifes GK = Gustav Klingert" though this mark do not exist. Please be so kind, fetch your reading glasses and take a look at the marks and the Russian text -...

Hi historydetective - it is me (Sazikov2000) who had this discussion with Blakstone about Baltic silver. I had to change Sazikov2000 to Postnikov for this forum because it is my pseudo on a wellknown auction site - this is against the rules of the house here. First - it is a very nice pair of candle...

Hi historydetective - your fork is original, silvercontent 875/1000 (better than the "normal" 800/1000 in use in Poland), the Polish marks in use 1920 - ca. 1947 are original - only the" Russian" marks are very dubious (i.e. faux)! Enjoy your fork - you have learned something the...
