Hi, just purchased my first russian piece for my collection and I'm having some difficulty with the marks, they are rubbed in a few areas, the assay mark I believe is Nikolau Dubrovnik going by what looks like a 1839 date, but I'm at a dead end with the makers mark, so now I'm think it may be a fake, the niello looks ok being that it's not painted and has been engraved first, so any opinions would be gratefully received.

Probably Ivan Kaltikov, Moscow

Brilliant, thanks for that, he does seem to fit the assay date and now I've found other images of his works I'm happy that it appears to be a genuine piece.
