Re: Help with Russian Makers Mark

Thanks for the reply. The weight is actually just under 14 grams. Is that an issue? The first Russian Cup I purchased proved to be a fake... I hope I am not 0 for 2.

Thanks

Re: Opinion before possible purchase

Thanks again....

Looks like I will be searching long and hard for the real deal. I really want to find something during Elizabeth's reign, which adds even more effort to the search. But, patience is key, and everyone's help really makes this a lot easier. I truly appreciate the efforts.....
