Is this a Russian gold mark on a pair of cufflinks?

Post by Spencel »

Hi everyone,

Could someone take a look at these cufflinks and tell me if this is a Russian hallmark? I've never seen it before and from the research I've done so far I think it could be Russian. It seems the same hallmark comes up for silver as well though? I am so confused! Thank you!

Hi,
It is Soviet Russia silver mark for 875 fineness, made in Moscow after 1958.

Thank you very much for your help. Good job I checked before I gifted them as a gold item! They are still lovely and I really like them :-)

There's a tradition of "Niello" on silver in Russia, and I believe that is what the flowers are on your cufflinks. ::: It uses other metals on top of the silver to create all kinds of images, from flowers to Russian churches, so it might interest you to follow up on that search word. ::::
