Hello,
I did a little research and I believe the symbols are :1 then an f (in Cyrillic) and a backwards R. Does that make any sense?

Hello,
I still haven't heard back from anyone. Does anyone out there have any idea what these symbols mean?

This won't be much help. My eyesight is not the best but I read the mark as :ЧФЯ. The Cyrillic letters transliterate as Ch F Ya. It may or may not be relevant that Ya (Я) is the initial of the Russian word for amber. The initials presumably identify a workshop but I would only be guessing if I tried to make anything more of them.

I should have added that it does not appear to be a gold mark so your enquiry may not be in the most appropriate forum category to get an answer.
