Hi, all,

Punches on the Teapot from the first message are counterfeit. I am sorry, but it is the truth.

Hi,

Goldstein, you are mistaken a little. The first brand "Л" in a square cartouche. This mark from 1908.
"П" in a square cartouche was in use after 1927.

You are afraid that nobody reads your messages? )) It's not Vasilii Semenov ( BC ). This napkin ring was made after 1899. Since 1896 his factory have mark ...

1969.

"9" is ahead of makers mark, but not behind.

I think it's original.

The maker's mark is not visible.((

But the best-known producer АП in Moscow at that time - Andrey Postnikov's factory.

Hi If I was "Goldstein", I would doubt authenticity of a punch of "Lyubavin".)) I do not like Lyubavin (St. Petersburg) who sells the Moscow spoons. I would assume that it is the upgrade aiming to raise the price. Like that: https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg.jpg

Hi, all

For information. This ugly false punch "M. Ovchinnikov" is in different combinations...)) :

Goldstein. I speak about a "kokoshnik" from your photo , only. I don't discuss a punches of producers - they often changed. But the assay punches (1908) has the accurate and fixed circuit of drawing. Sorry, but I am on vacation now - in a distance from my archive. Compare original punches ...

Goldstein.

Ubaranda is right. Kokoshnik from your golden sigarcase look very doubtfully

Hi.

I don't know who made this ithem. But it's authentic spoon.

Dear Qrt.S. I already wrote: my sources - documents of Mining Department. Your assumptions are have very weak logic. If the silversmith has brought a product (own or import) for punching in assay office, he will be written down in office book and will pay duty. Why how you claim, he won't punch the ...

Hi. I want to tell that in Yashinkov's work there was no evil (commercial) intention. Only the negligent relation to the duties. Understand me correctly. He was the honored official. After dismissal from a position of the head of Assay Office, the Mining Department continued to pay for his merits to...

Such violations: frequent lack of punch of the producer and of date + other violations became the reason of check of work of the Petersburg assay office and became the reason of discharge of Yashinkov from a position of the head of office in 1825. The checking commission was headed by Karpinsky who ...

Hi.

Qrt.S, I think, it (punches of "АЯ" 1795 and 1796) don't exist. According to my data, Yashinkov has begun to work in this position since 1797, only.

Thanks, Goldstein. But I asked about 1795-96 punches ..

Best Regards....

You are right both. Like always.
But. A picture is worth a thousand words. Show punches "АЯ" with 1795 and 1796, please.

Steve.

Yes. You are right in your doubts.

It's false marks.

Hi.

It's not 1872, it's 1879.

I.E.Konstantinov began to work like assayer (пробирер) of Moscow Assay office in 1874.
