Hi -
this is a very common Russian spoon pattern. Made in St. Petersburg by the silver firm Nasedkin, Aleksej Ivanovitsch (1883-1908), assayed there 1891 by the assayer Sever, Alexander Tomas (app. 1890-95 on duty). Silver content 84 Zolotniki = 875/1000.

Regards
Zolotnik

The initials show MK and belong to a noble person. The coronet indicates that. Who MK is/was you must find out for yourself. However, I don't think it is Russian nobility. This is all I can tell you based on the picture about the spoon's owner.

Thank you for the information. I attempted to search for any database with initials of noble people, but I did not find anything with MK.

Please let me know if you have any knowledge how to locate a database that may have those initials or symbols.
