I think now it is time to consult some medical help!

Hi Dad -

Hi numis-geneve -
who cares if Goldducats were the most famous/used coins if some persons decided to name their produkt7firm Dukat? You are off topic again, stubborn and unteachable.
Stay with your coins and forget Russian silver and Russian Tobacco!

Sorry, but the object is no longer in my posession.

Hi Dad - Thank you for your explanation to a simple mind. It is a real pleasure to read comments of someone who know what he is talking of and deliver valuable informations instead of talking pure nonsens. http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd334/Postnicov/Bild1-8.jpg Regards Zolotnik

As I said before - there are no other marks. First I thought it was an early object (1740) from Hoppe, Johan Henrik PL# 1717 . But than my brain starts to work: matches were invented arond 1840, successful made safety matches (white phosforus) showed up 1855 (by the Swedish ingenieur John Edward Lun...

Hi numis-geneve - First: wrong spelling, the name is DUKAT not DUCAT! Second: I wrote that the brand DUKAT was the favourit brand of the lastTsar Third: I did not write that the package was from before 1917 (I can read too) Forth: the Sazikov mark from the ashtray http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/...

Negative as always. Try to be happy and enjoy your life! Isn´t it you who always answer the fake posts first? By the way - I did not discuss a fake - I just placed a warning for others. You did not recognice it as a fake - If I had taken you serious ( you are the mega expert - I am only a lowly col...

Hi oel -
no other marks - only the shown.

Hi all - normally in Russia everything is bigger, better and more expensive - exeption ashtrays. They are tiny and very rare - very difficult to find. Most were lost or disappeared otherwise. Here my small collection, collected in over 25 years: The famous Russian Papirosi. half tabacco, half carton...

If I am not 100% sure - I ask! This forum is not the only place to get informations. If it disturbs you that I exchange informations - do not read. As a noncollector this information concernes you not anyway.

Hi -
sometimes it is important to warn members like you (with little experience but apparently too much money) and show them why some object is a fake - before the purchase.
You are free to ignore evidence of this type.....

Please note that the letter J was often superseded with I. Thank you very much for this news - always the little head teacher! There are no other marks. I think it is an "upgrade". The belt with buckle is an additional give away - this was never used on authentic objects, not aRussian sty...

Here an other example, maybe the same mark?

Why always so negative and in oposition? Everybody can see a rhombus and it looks like the mentioned mark. Better photos are for some people not possible - so there is much room for guessing. The import mark from Riga is clear and correct, There are many examples that via Riga imported silver has th...

Hi all -
Who is the maker I.H from St. Peterburg?




any help welcome.

This mark (bear in lozenge) is often seen on silver imported via Riga to Russia, silver that always is nice and tasteful - no cheap silverplate. The question is who is the maker? Berdorfer who made only silverplate or one of his subsidaries in Luzern , Eßlingen or Milano? Or a firm that is not know...

Hi all - Russia is not only famoús for silver but also for the excellent painted papermaché objects. Though this is a silverforum, just a few to wet the appetite. If there is interest - I can show many Wishnijakov, Lukutin etc. items. http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd334/Postnicov/Dose01.jpg h...
