Hi,
Ovchinnikov Trompe L'Oeil boxes do not circulate in flea markets.
This is an obvious fake with faked marks. Moscow StGeorge mark speaks for itself.
Fakes become more and more dangerous, but fortunately they are still rather easy to disclose.

Like AG2012 wrote: Hundreds of genuine Ovtshinnikov made objects do not circulate on flea or Internet markets. Compare the marks with genuine marks, especially the town mark for Moscow, not to mention the double eagle court provider mark!

Yeah, apparently made by somebody Ovtshinnikov but not Pavel Akimov's company!
