Hi - if you look at my foto and your foto you can see, that the "old Polish/Russian" stamps are identical, even in the outlines etc. It is very difficult to decide from fotos - but Poland is today the motherland of fakes and the new habit of the forgers is to use original silver and alter ...

Normaly things are 100% fake - but this is 200% fake :-)

I think they come from China - one of the biggest fake producer of silver of all kinds and countries ( and enamel, furniture, watches, clothes, cars, motor saws, atomic plants, kalashikovs - you name it - they do it).

Hi Qrt.S - Hi Nero5 Thank you very much for your clarification - so it could not be Muromkin! I am on the hunt for the name again. Either it is one of the names which were burned/destroyed or it is one of the NEP silversmiths Nero5 mentioned. I do not know if their names were somewhere registrated. ...
