Nice lady's purse from Russia. It is made between 1908-1917(27) in Moscow by Ya P (ЯП) and marked according to the rules. Unfortunately I have nothing on this master not even that he would be unknown. Let' wait and hope that somebody else does.

Hi

Bad photos. It is possible to show a hallmark from other half of purse?

May be
Prokhorov Yakov Prokhorovich. Owner of a silverwork establishment. 1872-1898.
Semyonovskaya str., Lisitsyn’s house. Moscow. Initials on the hallmark: ЯП

Best reg..

Let me put it this way: ЯП is not recognized by anybody else than Ivanov who states the working period to be 1872-1898. OK fine, but let's take a look at the hallmark. Ahaa a kokoshnik looking right. That means 1908-1927. Summa summarum: Prokhorov works to 1898 and then not a sign of him whatsoever. He has disappeared completely for about 15 years and suddenly he pops up from nowhere and makes a purse ???? Mind my saying but isn't it a bit far fetched or what do you think? Prokhorov? No way I would say.

Hi

I have told «May be», isn't it?
I know the period of action of a hallmark «kokoshnik looking right». 10 years aren't present the facts of its work? May be we haven't found the facts of its work? Knowledge gathers on particles)))). Anyway, from all mentioned masters - Prokhorov the closest.
There are other candidates?

Best regards.

I'm afraid I must disagree with you. You cannot explain missing years or big gaps in years with your argumentation. You need proofs and there are none. Other candidates? Sure, but they are too old on in the wrong towns, maybe Yakov Polikarpov 1679-1680 :-). Your logic is unmaintainable I must say, sorry.
