Hi, All.

Such punch was used in the Soviet Russia for marking the silver products before 1927. Official fineness of silver was 76, 84 and 88. After 1927 it was 800. 875 and 916.
The initials of the master are M. Х.

Re: The Russian spoons

To Qrt.S - Assayed after 1899 (в 1899!) in Moscow, made by MK (1865-1883). How can someone make a spoon after he stopped working or is dead? Blah, blah, blah.... Regards Zolotnik Bad, that you don't trust. It's really Moscow. Such assay mark (small 84) marked the short period 1898-1899. The master...

Re: ЕП and "I. KOPF." mark on a spoon

Hi, All. I think, it is important. In the book at Postnikova-Loseva the mark of J.Kopf meets among marks of the Petersburg masters too. Hence, mark J.Kopf and Petersburg's assay mark (1908) can be together and it is normal. Who is J.Kopf - seller or silversmith in this case? I don't known.)) http://...

Re: The Russian spoons

The first break in the fiddle pattern. Arrow spoons appear in the second quarter of the 19th century. Personally consider them a representation of Romanticism because of the upcoming cup form of a heart and the arrow significance. This model has evolved in parallel with the fiddle and classical twi...
