Found these tongs on garage sale here in Belgium, wondering how the ended up here!
I hope someone can tell me who, or where it was produced.
Thanks!

Hi silverstork -
though the photos are not the best, I read the following:
Moscow 1865, silver content 84 Zolotniki = 875/1000, maker ПЕЦЪ К. Я. = Petz Konstantin Jakovlewitsch 1835-1875, a wellknown silversmith! A nice piece which needs some care...
Regards
Zolotnik

Hello Zolotnik.
Thanks a lot for the great answer! Indeed this picture is made just after i came home with it. I already cleaned it now and give it a nice place in the collection.
