Hi everybody!

I'm a beginner in russian silver items. After reading many of the posts about that, I really doubting about the authenticity of russian silver items I just bought.

Even if I take care of all the advises people gives on russian hallmarks, I'm still asking myself; "Are they fake or not?". It is hard to me to be sure...

Bellow are 6 pictures of 6 items, and my question is easy: Should I keep them or throw them? ;-)))

(admin edit - only one item per topic)

Thank you everybody for your answers!!!

P.S.: Hope I respect the rules of the forum... In fact, I hope to understand them!!! ;-)

Hi Smokanabeach -

all your shown stopki are authentic! I am just too lazy to explain each single stopka. Better show only one object per query!

The assayer is Ivan Sergeivich Lebedkin Иван Сергеевич Лебедкин, appointed in Moscow 1899. This hallmark is #3878 in Postnikova and page 78 of Geoffrey Watts. The makers mark is Yuka Lozinski Иука Лозинский, 1892-1908 in Moscow. Hallmark #2500 in Postnikova and page 138 in Watts. I did not get to see any other silver items before they were deleted. If you post them one at a time, they can be identified.
