Moneybox, Russian ca 1875, fake or authentic?

[sebastian4743]

I am after a nice silver moneybox and found this:






I seen this "beehive" design in an English silver ink stand from the late XIX century... so it made mu suspicious about the authenticity of the money box made in Russia. What do you think? Please advise.

Hi sebastian 4743 -
the moneybox is a fake from Poland - often offered at eBay with different marks. The Gratschev marks look quite good - but not good enough!
Here another model - with Russian import marks/foreign product - and a bit more decoration,engravings.:
