Yes , looks like Khlebnikov, but what are the assayer's initials, С·Ш or ?

Must be С.Ш for Семен Шебанов
Semen Shebanov 1883
PL# 2116

Besides, the first letter C is very clear, and he was the only Moscow assayers at the time whose first name started with C.
That`s what I think.

Yes, the initials must be С·Ш, but it cannot be Schebanov because he never assayed in Moscow. The assayer is in my opinion Sergey Aleksandrovich Schostak 1883-94.

@AG2012
@Qrt.S.
Thank you for sharing your perspective with the matter. ( I did come to somewhat the same results with my own conclusions, at least regarding the maker's marks, more foggy with the assay markings. I do value a lot your experienced point of views.)

Hi!

Sorry to mix this up as I would put a question mark on the authenticity. To my opinion there are quality and mark issues, the quality is not one would expect and especially the second mark seems very strange. Even the place of the marking seems odd.
