Dzerzhinsky Plant, Kiev.

A small correction - 1965. The star was not used until 1958.

The letter "I" was in the Russian alphabet in those years.

Correction. I think that Ivan was the owner of the factory in 1839-1852(54).

The brand is "ФIК" , where «Ф» (F) is a Factory. The Kcimantovsky factory. Silvering is not really my topic, but I have seen such marks «ФIК». And he had other brands. It is ok. I think that the years of creation of this product are approximately 1844-1852. Maybe a little earlier. There is...

I think that the factory of Ксимантовский (КSIMANTOVSKУ). Silver plated. Накладное серебро.

The stamp itself guarantees that the product has been tested in a certain district assay office and that the specified sample is authentic. The surname of the assayer who put the stamp is not indicated.

The state controlled the assay chambers and their employees. Control of the correct silver sample is one of the tasks of the assayers. If the sample was not correct when checking in the assay chamber, then the product should have been broken and the assayers did the remelting. There is no punishment...

I have answered all the questions already.
"...Ivan Sergejevich Lebedkin was ... an assayer in Moscow 1898-1914..."
He was never an assayer.
"....If Lebedkin was not a goldsmith, he still had a punch (how come?)..."
He was never a goldsmith.

Is it bad when the information is correct? I don't see any reason to continue this topic either, because there are no questions for me here. 1. Yes, the 17th century, but I wrote not about the assay statute, but about punishments for speculating with gold and silver. 2. Almost all Russian probirers,...

Thanks! I felt like a primary school student))). I'll try again. I have already written several times that Lebedkin was not an assayer, but was the manager of the Moscow assay district. And it is. I know Lebedkin's life step by step. He never branded the products himself. He was the boss. That's all...

I probably don't understand your question or it's translation difficulties. Who is the "assayer" for you? In Russian there are concepts assayer, assay master, probirer, controller of samples, manager of the assay chamber, manager of the assay district, etc. (пробирный мастер, пробирщик, ко...

Earlier I spoke only about Lebedkin's profession. He was never an assayer (пробирер). He was the manager of the Moscow assay district (управляющий московским пробирным округом) and he himself never held a hammer in his hands.))) His initials are on the stamp, of course. The words about the snuffbox ...

Thanks! I had no information for 1860. Information for 1860 was probably submitted in 1859.

Like Mart already mentioned; Ivan Sergejevich Lebedkin was an official (public servant), an assayer in Moscow 1898-1914. That means that the maker cannot be Gennady Aleksejeff (1854-1883). The maker ГА is Gerasim Afanasjeff 1896-1917 in Moscow. Lebedkin has never been an assayer. He was the manager...

...However, Odessa's town mark was earlier a burning cross but later (1843-1848) an anchor headed with a double headed eagle. ....The maker's mark could be an abbreviation of Николай сантамария (Nikolay Santamaria (P#3171)) known to have worked in Odessa 1848... The coat of arms of Odessa was an an...

Thanks! I have to understand why you didn't immediately show this photo, which is more informative.)))

Ivan Lebedkin has never been a silversmith. He was a government employee.
The silversmith is Gennady Alekseev (ГА) from Moscow.

Most likely it is the city of Odessa. The mark of the master "Н.САНТ" N.Santamaria. The second part of the 1840s.
Can you show the brand on the second product?

When the topic is spoons, the best candidate is Ivan Andreev (Matryona Andreeva's husband). Perhaps Ivan Alexandrov.
If you manage to see the brand "ИA" under the mark "ИХ", then perhaps the spoons were sold in Khlebnikov's store.
