Is this a authentic Faberge ?

I would like some help do confirm if this piece is an authentic Faberge.

Thanks,

Best regards,

Kindly show some sharper photos of the marks. However, I am a bit doubtful....but as said, better pictures and we'll see.

Hi -
this was an enamel cup made by the wellknown enamel maker Nikitin D. P. (ДН) in Moscow - in my opinion an original (enamel colours, technique, quality and style). Later somebody added the misfitting handle (enamel colour, technique and style) and the nonsense Fabergé mark and the sensless mark BA (Agafonov W.S.) of an other enamel maker. This destroyed an interesting object and made it absolute worthless.
Here the original marks from Nikitin D. P. for comparison:

Hi All,

Just as a matter of thoughts; I believe not worthless, a good silversmith could restore the enamel cup to his old luster and have the fake marks removed.
