I will consider your advices; for the first, I have lost any desire to buy further russian silver :-) Perhaps it is better to collect further things which I understand better (german silver from 19. and 20. century). In the next week I am on journey, afterwards I want to present here more russian pi...

Dear Qrt.S, dear Postnikov you two are very kind and friendly, thank you so much for your help. In case of the box I bought this item short time ago from a serious trader, he told me this item is from a serious collection and gave me warranty that this is no fake and I can bring the box back. I will...

Hi, after I found out now with the help of this forum that some my Russian pieces are falsifications, I have now naturally the fear that they are still more falsifications in my collection. If it is permitted, I would like to present more pictures of my russian pieces in this forum in and to ask the...

Dear Qrt.S,
thank you. We agree.
Kind regards
Steffen

Here is the picture of the whole item. Sorry for the delay

Dear Oel, dear Postnikov thank you very much for your answers. It is very important for me to get the advice of a expert in russian silver, because I have more of those items. I tried to post a private mail to Postnikov, but I have technical problems, it seems. Can you send me a short PM so I can an...

@ Postnikov Thanks for your answer, which surprises me however. I did not see yet all contributions in this forum, but read nevertheless already much. A such box had not been discussed yet, or? Falsification? So an enamel with diamonds? How do you deduce? It would very helpfully be for me, if you te...

Falsifications of Russian pieces are often to find. Normally they are easy to recognize by the bad quality . The presented box from my collection is of very good quality, better enamel I haven`t seen yet. But nevertheless: The fear remains to have bought an expensive falsification . Therefore my que...

@ Qrt.S I will ask the owner for a picture of the hole item.

@ admin: sorry, it was not my intension to violate the rules

@ QRT.S: thank you very much for your kind answer. This item does not belong to me, I have unfortunately only one picture of the stamp. Perhaps I get still another picture of the whole piece. It is 2 kg heavily and from a very good quality, probably also very old. Nobody would make itself today the ...

Hello, on a very nice cloisonne piece of jewellery is a hallmark, that looks like a second kokoshnik mark. But no letter and untypical head (in my opinion). So I think, this is not a russian item. Any ideas about the origin??? Each assistance to clear this mystery would be very welcome. Kind regards...

@ Qrt.S I have the box and a big cup (with the same hallmark and the same cloisonne) not here im my house but in a safe deposit area (only the pictures on my laptop and more details / description in an excel-sheet). I will soon take out the items and will take more pictures of all hallmarks and the ...

Hello Silverport, Thank you for your friendly words. Very good diagnosis, a gun powder horn, I was wondering why a drinking horn is so small but I had no better idee (and the knowledge). I visit this forum in order to learn. If I have sometimes more questions, that does not mean that I do not believ...

Theoderich, thanks for your input.
Why not Nuremberg?.... the N in the circle looks like this (found in Rosenberg).
The drinking cup looks very old, so I don`t think, it is hanau around 1900 (pictures are bad, sorry, took them last night without satisfiing light).
Kind regards
Steffen

Good day, A colleague of me owns a drinking cup from silver and asked me about the age and the origin. I am sure but the N in the circle could mean Nuremberg end of 18. Century. But I do not find in my books the second hallmark (like a face with horn) and also the third mark. Can it be Hanau (pseudo...

Good Morning to all, thank you very much for your thoughts. The box is around 27 cm x 18 cm with a high of 15 cm, the weight around 1,7 kg. The hallmark is located on the downside of the box and inside of the Cover (the 2 hallmarks looks very similar). There are absolutely no other hallmarks to find...

Next unknown item of my collection: a big cloisonne box of silver with rubies. The hallmark resembles the russian hallmarks, but there are no further stamps, so I have doubts whether the box originates from Russia.
Any Idees?
Kind regards
Steffen

Hello, this is my first post here: I started collecting silver only 3 years ago, so I have to learn a lot. One of the best sources of knowledge is this site, so I will be glad to take part here. Many of my items bought in the last years I could not identify so I will start to show some pictures of t...
