Russian Kovsh verification
Re: Russian Kovsh verification
My good man, why don't learn how the Imperial Russian silver marking system works before you buy any Russian silver. This knowledge is of utmost importance and it will save you a lot of money. The market is overcrowded with dubious Russian objects. Please read this link carefully:

Hi,
I fully agree with Qrt.S.
It is a modern fake, both the kovsh and the marks (and a poor fake,by the way,not a dangerous one).
Standard 88 had better casting properties than lower grade silver and was more often used by reputable silversmiths.So,one would always expect excellent craftsmanship executed in 88.
