My personal opinion is that if those marks are the only marks on your yad, it is a dubious object. Kindly show all marks. In addition, clean it up and polish it!

On a Russian made object there must be a maker's mark. You have none here only a "trade mark", the bull's head (Labecki's logo). Please note that Warsaw is at this period Russian territory.

Hi aghino -
Thora pointer are in general fakes - it does not matter if Russian or Polish under Russian rule!In over 25 years I never have seen an authentic piece - but thousands of fakes. An object for the waste bin!
Here some real marks from Labecki/Warzaw:
