Hi Goldstein, Ok. I hear you. Thanks for a lesson, the journey is at its early stage for my part. And many lessons to be learned. One believes that ones interest and the passion for it, will make the journey to endure and bit by bit perhaps to prevail;-) ~ Ad astra doloribus itur ~ Regards, - Atlas -

@ Goldstein Actually this ( in the picture below) was what I was buying and the Kavkaz-souvenir napkin ring sort of followed with it. But felt no need posting it here since found no need understanding its marks ( Khlebnikov / St.P ). http://imageshack.com/a/img922/4316/20E19g.jpg http://imageshack.c...

Hi Goldstein, The Postnikova-Losseva book I have had for years and thanks to very generously linked by AG2012, I downloaded some days ago the Ivanov books. Not yet just so familiar in using it. And I have several other books regarding russian silver as well. But I know naturally that I have very muc...

Thank you for your answers & effort.

Perhaps in cyrillic S I G...S I and something?

Hi,

Help would once again be appreciated with identifying the maker's mark on this niello napkin ring in the photo below if you please.

Hi, Thank you all ( oel, Goldstein, Qrt.S, AG2012 ) for your clarifying answers. + @ Goldstein For some parts the answer yes but actually not that much one would perhaps assume. My work takes me more than frequently from another country around the Baltic sea to an other. And I would say that perhaps...

Thank you, Peter.
The conversation you linked, was quite enlightening & interesting.
Some light is now received to where the was before a total darkness ( to me ), thank you.
Let us hope that more light will be upon us regarding this matter in the future.

Hello, Here are some photos regarding a 15th Artel bonbonniere; In the pic below, the mark on far left (, looks like F/R in latin), has someone any knowledge what is possibly means? http://imageshack.com/a/img923/7857/VLF3rw.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img922/2215/i06o8J.jpg + If someone could trans...

Hi AG2012,

Thank you so very, very much. This really made the rest of the year for me ( + the years to come).

Hi,
The dubious object now successfully returned.
Thanks to all who commented regarding this matter.
Life is a journey and so is collecting russian silver as well. One can learn something new everyday if wanted.

Hi,
Any tips regarding availibility of the Alexander Ivanov's book "Gold and silversmiths in Russia 1600-1926" anywhere?

Hi Goldstein,
Thank you. Yes, I do own them ( and also the other objects in the photos I post here).
Very similar the scrollwork in that last photo you posted.

Hi Goldstein, Thank you for sharing your experienced opinion regarding this matter. It makes sence. The napkin ring on the lefthand side in the photo below, is from my point of view very much the same quality as the one on the righthand side, which bears the Gustav Klingert hallmarks. http://imagesh...

And, Qrt.S, the greek letter looks like a delta.
