This is a long haul. I have tried to find out who is who in this mark for a long time. Unfortunately with no particular result. The only thing that I can tell you is that the assayer В.П ( VP) 1883-86 in Moscow is unknown.

The maker's mark is strange. It seems to be a over strike mark. What is under И.И, (II) is hidden J ???.C or ?. Sorry don't know the maker, maybe somebody else does.

Hi!

If I read correct the maker could be Mikhail Ivanovich Sinitzin. He used the initials MIS (cyr.) with a little different look of the letters but this could be another version of his mark. He became master in 1885.

Good thinking Juke, I had him in my mind but the problem is that his mark doesn't match the mark on the spoon.[img][url=http://i.imagehost.org/view/1000/MIS][img]http://[/img]

Most probably you are correct, as there are silversmiths with same initials so the silversmiths mark on the spoon can be said to be unknown as for today.
