I have a question regarding this item which sold in a local auction.

It is great to see authentic Klingert because there is a lot of replica Klingert out there and this thread will educate many people

Well stories are stories. The letter is written with imagination during a period when hardly anybody knew what was going on in the USSR even less about Russian silver. There is absolutely nothing indicating that the spoons have anything to do with the Russian court. The text in the box's lid is ...

(In 1941 it was much better to run antique shop in Jerusalem than in Berlin).
(Interestingly, the buyer had to be the member of British forces because The AIF officially ceased to exist on 1 April 1921. Or he visited Palestine when retired and used his rank).

No you are incorrect about the AIF, if ...

These spoons have been in the same family for about 70 years, I do love the embellishments from the Antique seller particularly the comment about been “blessed by the Pope”

In my opinion these are not Russian Hallmarks, if it was a Russian from the period of 1911 it would not have the 1911 date, it would have a kokoshnik mark, I have never seen the date 1911 on Russian Silver, also the subject matter and enamel work does not look like a Russian piece at all

Hi,
1.Overall poor quality and craftsmanship
2.Letter P in initials is not well rounded Cyrillic letter P but rather flat. Chinese fakers rely on visual similarity and disregard subtle differences and their Cyrillic letters are often deformed.

Hi All,

I have a question regarding Assay Masters, I have a serving spoon with an Assay Mark from Kliment Zabaryevsky from Vilnuis, silver master гс.

According to my books, which may be incomplete, there is no maker with this hallmark from Vilnuis.

Is it possible that assay masters assayed items ...

I must get a new pair of glasses, it looked like the odessa to me, either that or a new magnifing loop.


What I neglected to mention is that this one of six teapoons

I have tea spoons with a Kokoshnik mark for Odessa with a hallmark with S.T.Berg next to it, is this correct?

I have just seen this offered for sale on e-bay, I'm not the seller nor am I in the market to buy it.

I hope this is not against the posting rules, but I would be interested in finding out if this item is real or a fake, looking at the hall mark it looks wrong to me.
