Russian Cufflinks
Russian Cufflinks
These cufflinks are 3 cm. in diameter.
Any insight regarding the marks on the back would be most appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi,
дарю means gift in niello.
I suppose you know 84 zolotniki is fineness (.875).
Town mark could be Novocherkassk or Novgorod, but I`m not sure.
Let`s wait for more responses.

Re: Russian Cufflinks
The town mark is Новочеркасск (Novocherkassk) . Unfortunately very few makers are known by name or even listed. The maker's mark is beyond recognition, cannot even identify the letters...?
Re: Russian Cufflinks
Forgot to tell that the town mark was used approx. 1847~1881.
