Hi - another important indication is the style/form/craftsmanshift of the spoon - typical Russian! Nowhere in Europa you find similar spoons. Fakers can make thanks to computerized milling machines, any number of identical spoons from an existing, authentic pattern spoon. The days when faker made fa...

Hi - just a reminder: Lev Oleks was in Moscow on duty: 1889-91, 1892-94, 1895-1904, 1915-1917. In Kiew on duty: 1905-1914 The spoon itself is most likely from this period and the engraving would be authentic as already mentioned. You think fakers marked an authentic spoon with correct fake marks? 18...

Since nearly 1 year this spoon pattern flood the market. Beware!

No rule without exception! The larger spoons are sometimes (very rarely) also on the back of the stems marked - often found in "better known" manufacturers. However, caution is required. Your pictured spoon seems to me absolutely real. Since these spoons are made today with state-of-the-ar...

Hi forksnspoons - nice collection - unfortunately 5 total fakes! Authentic spoons of this pattern are marked always on the stem side - not on the stem back!!! Some models in the bowl. https://abload.de/img/fake0161kvr.jpg https://abload.de/img/fake01aygjfz.jpg https://abload.de/img/fake02j1ko7.jpg h...

Here some more objects - from the son as well from the father. Notice the different years and compare with Ivanov´s notices. In order to be able to form a realistic judgment, not only information about the manufacturer but also real pieces is required. Books alone do not always help. Luckily, object...

Just use the search function on the upper right side - enter "Tchevarsin" and read/understand what you see! The information is from the year 2016! At least I have no records of him. As a "copy and paste artist" you missed this one. Maybe you will realize one day that the indicati...

Hi Qrt.S - It simply stands out: whenever you do not understand the context or are wrong - you become failing or offensive. Try to stay civilized - this is a public forum - that has no interest in your sensitivities or your hurt vanity. Swear words are completely out of place here! Unfortunately, so...

Hi Qrt.S - I failed to understand "(the monogram with crown is particularly suitable)" in the context of the sentence, I thought I remember seeing a post where the member asked if the monogram was original or not, but now I cannot locate that question :: I enjoy the monogram style from Rus...

Hi Qrt.S - you missed that I am speaking about a "chiffre" - the English translation is "cipher"and gives a different sense. Chiffre is French. This forum is English speaking - so you have to write in English. Everybody in the world who is interested in antiques (independent of h...

Hi "Besserwisser" - the word "cipher" or "chiffre " is used when a devoured monogram in connection with a crown is used, you have to decipher it. The noun cipher refers to a numeral or number. On the other hand, a cipher can also be a secret character, a sign of a secre...

Hi p_helm - I myself bought this fork at a market, and it certainly was not expensive, so no gain for a fake market. I do not see myself as a fool as I bought a piece that interested me. I liked it and bought it because I like it, not because of any hallmarks. It was only after did some research and...

Hi Qrt.S - I knew that you would jump on the oppurtunity to present again your outstanding knowledge about Russian silver in general and world marks in particular! Perhaps you have missed that AG 2012 has meant his contribution as a joke / satire - you can bet that he knows that napkin rings have no...

Hi Aguest -

Hi Aguest - please read the different contributions and think about what is written! One can only write and explain - but reading and understanding is up to you! In one of my contributions (re fakes) I wrote the following: These spoons exist in their thousands, with simple or intricate, ornate monog...

Hi Juke - here another spoon from him, he sometimes marked his spoons next to his name with SP BURG. He had a large spoon production and his spoons are very common.
