This snuffbox has marks unknown to me.
Can anyone identify them?

Niëllo technique, the thumb rest does not seem Western European to me. I have seen these thumb rests more often on Russian boxes. The marks, two times master mark, the letters based on a variant of the Cyrillic script? I expect to be corrected, I wonder who knows.
Enjoy the weekend.

Peter.
