Your spoon is Soviet made and the material is the an alloy called German silver (МНЦЦ). It contains about 60% copper, 20%zinc and 20%nickel. The percentages can vary.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

The 2-50 refers to the set price of the item, in this case 2 Rubles - 50 Kopeks.

Hi, All.

It' s Soviet period.
The first mark - Завод имени Шевченко (ЗиШ). Volnyansk ( Zaporozhie, Ukraine)
second - Киевская ювелирная фабрика . Kiev Jeweler factory (Kiev,Ukraine)
third - Кольчугинский завод. Kolchuginskii factory (Kolchugino, Vladimir Reg., Russia).

Mind my asking Dad and dognose but how can Ц 2-50 mean price when the price is 3p 70k i. e . 3 Rubles 70 Kopek? Look for yourself on the last mark to the right is the price.

Could it be inflation; original punch with old price and dictated by the Soviet state/factory of 2-50 followed by a new (punch) price tag of 3p-70k

Why you are surprised?
Different factories -> the different prices. Different patterns -> the different prices. The different sizes -> the different prices. Etc.

Please do not try pull my leg regarding Russian or Soviet silver. What you state is crap. You cannot have two price on one and the same item. The price is 3 Rubles and 70 Kopek. The figures 2-50 means something else. What, I don't know but it is not the price but maybe it is plated...?

Hi, Qrt.S

Please, be more attentive. In this theme three different subjects are shown. I have listed them earlier.
The first (ЗиШ) - the price 2 rubles and 50 kopek.
The third (Кольчугино) - the price 3 rubles and 70 kopek.

The very reason why the posting requirements state only 'one item per topic', any more, and it just causes confusion.
