Hi! The assay marks on the riza are correct. Unfortunately, I can only offer an extract from Ivanov-Skurlov's book. Look some Workshops in St. Petersburg with a maker's mark "ПА" of your icon's time period. To your choose. To whom, specifically, the "ПА" belongs, I don't know. ht...

Here is a product from the same "workshop"

Ok. Look and compare. The round mark was punched deeply usually. Its preservation is usually good.





Your punch looks more like a portrait of a Mayan (indian)

Thanks for the photo. Very informative. Now I am completely sure that the item is 100% fake. From the first second of life. In addition. I do not remember a single successful fals round stamp with a kokoshnik. If you acquired this item as Russia in the early 20th century, then this is a sad mistake.

Quite good quality of Hallmarks. But I think this is fake. If you can, take clear pictures of the round punch with a kokoshnik. There are also too many productions marks. This style of the product is often used in Faberge fakes.

Maybe Johann Andreas Leischke, Vilite № 229.

Hi,
look in the book of P.-L. number 828. Vaganov Vasily Fedorovich. In the book of P.-L. the stamp "В.В" (Vaganov Vasily Fedorovich) is indicated. But silversmiths often used punch of 3 letters of the name (+ patronymic). Then there will be "ВФВ".

Link to the author's abstract. The content of the dissertation is summarized here in an editable format. Translate the data for 4 cities in Google: Vologda, Arkhangelsk, V. Ustyug and Vyatka. That's not a lot.

I grieve. He was a fighting old man, but enthusiastic and with a flame in his heart! We need such people.
Упокой, Господи, душу усопшего раба Твоего .... Rest in Peace ...RIP

Yes. This is true. Everything that is written about Kiev during this period in the book of P.-L. must be transferred to Arkhangelsk. Assay master В.Ф. (V.F.) has the surname Frolov. The name is possibly Vasily. In addition to my sources, you can see the dissertation of V.L. Zhuravleva (chief curator...

Good evening, Qrt.S. In real, these stamps are an unsuccessful attempt to tie this icon to Kiev in 1778. However, the fraudsters relied on false data from the book of P.-L. Further, we can say that the first assay tent in Kiev began to operate only in 1827. But all the products before this year that...

... Below the year 1778 in the hallmark should be the assayers initials in Kiev. They are I·C for Ivan Serebrenikov 1778-1781 but there seems to be fragments of some other letters. ... Good evening, Qrt.S . Explain, please, where did you get the facts about Ivan Serebrennikov in Kiev in 1778? It is...

Hi,

I think, all punches as it should be. Vladimirov is a retailer. Punch of the real maker is situated below (deep) the Vladimirov punch. Therefore defects are around the letters "м”, “i” and "р”.

There is another one punch (third mark) at earring. Perhaps, it is import mark of Czechoslovakia

Hi All! Here are 3 Orthodox icons. Silver riza. On each there are punches of the maker - "G.D." ( "Г.Д." Cyrillic). Thinness is the 12 loth. On 2 icons the city mark is "the standing on the hind paws lion, in the front paws holds... (?). May be it was Slonim. The town in Bel...

Hi

Maybe Batumi. But, i think, it 's amateur activity.
This kind of "84" did not exist in hallmarks of RI until 1899. But then there was already a others hallmarks.

Waste of time.
These fake silver plated copper spoons are sold in all russian flea markets.
I don’t know where they are made. Maybe in China, maybe in Romania ...

Nice doing Dad, thanks. Troepolskaja recognizes МПЗ (#19304), but not 3AB. What does it stand for. 3 for "Завод" but the rest. AB?

I don't understand ... What is "ЗАВ" ?

"ЗАВ." in punch is short "ЗАВОД"

Hi, Full maker name is " Московский Платиновый Завод " (Moscow Platinum Plant). Also you can meet punch - " МПЗ ". Factory occuped former factory of Khlebnikov in 1918. Mainly produced technical products from platinum. Factory also produced household products from silver and melc...
