Kokoshnik, candle holder, fake or genuine?

[sebastian4743]

Is it fake or genuine? Only this silver mark is present?

[Qrt.S]

Genuine but not Russian made. The mark is the second Russian Import mark used 1899-1908. The Cyrillic letter 3 is the assayer's mark. He is Kliment Antonovitch Zagayevsky in Riga 1899-1916. Riga as well as St Petersburg were the biggest import towns in those days.
