Scroll down to headline "Import Marks."......and the other Russian pages too ..... :-)))))))))

Agree, not an easy task. A Dutch dolphin mark on Latvian silver ??? Category "mistake" or... What is the "mistake"?
...sometimes also mistakenly used on old and foreign objects.


Interesting case anyway. This dolphin mark mislead me for a while...then I found it in Latvijas Sudrabkali, Darbi un ...

Nice doing Oel. Agree, it is Hauffe. It took some time before I found the same master. What does the mark to the left show?

Somehow, most likely Riga/Latvia 1899-1907. Unfortunately bad punches, anyway, the assayer is likely Kliment Zagayevsky (looks like КЗ), but the maker ???

The maker is Adalbert G. Berg in Riga in Latvia ~ 1899. The assayer КЗ is Kliment Zagayevsky.

No, not Russian made, the mark tells that it is imported goods between 1908-27. Unfortunately the the exporting country is unknown. Anyway, Germany would be the best guess, but...?

It is a Russian tea spoon (depending on its size). There are some alternatives, but НП could be Nikolay Pavlov in Moscow 1885-1927, or?

Sorry, don't buy it. The frame looks "round" because of the round shape of the ring. In addition, the frame should be round/circular but not only a square with rounded corners. Compare to the "roundness" of the frame's both sides for the fineness mark (88). In reality the fineness frame is always ...

Please note that the small mark (КФ) had a round frame. There were some other makers using the same initials but with a different frame.

OK, it happens. Anyway, in that case what makes you think it is Jensen?

Please show the maker's mark and other marks if you believe it to made by Jensen? Like Sasropakis wrote, imported but where from?

Please show the whole object. The craftsmanship can tell more because there are alternative makers...

No, nothing indicates Russia here.

This object (a knife rest) has mismatching markings. It has an older St. Petersburg's fineness mark and a later Soviet oval Moscow hallmark 1927-54. It could be a later "overstamp" by the SU authorities, but? In such cases the old Russian marks were often scratched/destroyed. It could also be a fake ...

Looks like it is made in memory of the capitulation of the nazi regime in Norway 8.5.1945.
( BTW. NM stands for norskt mönster i.e. Norwegian Pattern.)

MAB is an abbreviation for Matsilver AB (Silverware Ltd). Your spoons are made 1950 (Z8) in Märsta in Sweden. Märsta is a suburb to Stockholm therefore the punch St. Erik for Stockholm. Z8 is the year mark for 1950. The silver fineness is 830/1000. The S in the hexagon indicates minimum "silver ...

Correct and in addition, the maker (PA) is Petter Airaksinen born 1847 and dead 1933, active 1871-1898. He worked as an apprentice in his home town Kuopio (FI). Later as journeyman in St. Petersburg (RU), where he graduated as master goldsmith. He collaborated with several well known goldsmiths in ...

Indeed interesting. This Zakhoder case has been discussed rather deeply in the past). Look here:

However, this punch (ЗЗ) is different (compared to ИЕЗ, who was active in Moscov 1851-92 and in Kiev1892-1907) as well as the forename Zalaman ...

Sorry but this statue is not Soviet made. The second and third picture (Worker's head in cut oval frame) tells that it is imported between 1947-1954 from ??? Anyway, silver it is in not less than .800.

Your spoon is newly made and not old/antique. It is from Kostroma and made 1993. Unfortunately I don't have any registers of modern makers. Wait a moment and somebody here will tell you who it is. Of course it is silver in the fineness of .925. Rather typical Russian spoon.
