Re: St Petersburg maker I.T
Yes the spoon is genuine. The assayer is A.I. Yashinkov/Yashinov/Yashenkov in St Petersburg. His exact name is not known. The maker IT is a German, Johann Diedrich Tiedemann 1805-1837. He was born 1775 in Bremen and came as a journeyman from Lubeck 1800 to St P. He became master in 1805. He died 4.8.1837. He often got orders from the Royal Court Office.
As to the engraving. I think it is in Cyrillic letters and shows ICC in Cyrillics being ISS in Latin letters. Who that is I cannot know.
