Hi, dear Qrt.S!

I am very grateful for your attention and your detailed answer. Could you please recommend to me some literature about the swedish silvermarks and the history of stamps in this country. Thank you.

The thing is, that are able to read Swedish or not. If you are able, try to get "Svenskt Silversmide 1520-1850", printed in 2000. There is also a book continuing from 1850 to 1912 but that book is almost impossible to get because it is sold out. Unfortunately I'm not aware of any books in English not to mention Russian regarding this topic.This is also something that you could use: http://stamps.swedac.se/index_ie.asp?sLang=en

have a nice evening
