A pickles fork

[Qrt.S]

Found this "pickles" fork. It measures 21 cm. Unfortunately I cannot find the maker. In addition, the hallmark is damaged where the assayer's initials are or actually were ;-)))). Left looking kokshnik -> 1899-1908
Anyway, the master's punch seems to be Ф.Г. ....or?
Any good suggestions, thank you?

Hi -

It would be much appreciated if the questioner before taking the photos cleaned the marks and polished the whole object. In this condition it looks awful.

Leading by example is better than educating others ....

The marks I showed was cleaned as much as possible. But, they are on a difficult bulbous place therefore the pictures are not the best.

Regarding the master, note the dots. That is something that you usually oversee. I saw Pekin, but I don't think it is him. Thank you anyway for your "polite" comment, but we all "know" you already.

Hi -

Tip for the beginner: "bulbous places" are best cleaned with this brushes + silver polish.....amazing results!
