These cufflinks are 3 cm. in diameter.

Any insight regarding the marks on the back would be most appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi,
дарю means gift in niello.
I suppose you know 84 zolotniki is fineness (.875).
Town mark could be Novocherkassk or Novgorod, but I`m not sure.
Let`s wait for more responses.
Regards

The town mark is Новочеркасск (Novocherkassk) . Unfortunately very few makers are known by name or even listed. The maker's mark is beyond recognition, cannot even identify the letters...?

Forgot to tell that the town mark was used approx. 1847~1881.
