Hallmarks on Russian Erotic Cigarette Case - unknown!

Post by silberdosen »

Hello,
I have this nice cigarette case with a handpainted nude and would like to know more about the hallmarks on it.
For me it is Russian silver of 84 Zolotnik. But I do not know what the letter 'A' left to the hallmarked head means.
Also the maker mark (cyrilic) BA or BH is unknown to me.
Is it possible to tell the year the item was make by the shape of the Zolotnik hallmark? And/or even the town where it has been made?

Any info on the item is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance and greetings from Hamburg,
Rainer

Hi Rainer,

Nice bare breasted young woman.
Not the roman letter A but the Greek letter Delta for the assay office of Moscow.
For more information about the Russian hallmarks and this particular 'kokoshnik' see:

Hi Rainer,

You are far more likely to get a response if you embed your images as few people will click on links.

Hi Trev,
Thanks For your response.

I tried to embed the photos using the IMG tags, but this seems not to be the correct way.
What did I wrong?

Best regards, Rainer

Hi Rainer,

I'm not sure how your photohost works, but most of them produce an img code for forums and message boards.
