Welcome to the forums Djape

Would it be possible for you to post a picture of the whole item?

Regards,
Piette

I'm afraid that you will never find this "maker" H.I.T. The marks on your object are more than dubious.

Hi.

I look that state's marks is original. But photos is bad. Hands of the photographer are shivering.)))
"н.i.т." - "the unknown master"(1898-1917). Subjects with such mark are storing in the State historical museum in Moscow.
I don't understand, why the second mark is "нт"? Here it is very strange. And I don't like red stones on a body still.

Best reg.

No, the unknown master is H.I.T not H.I.T. (the last dot!). The unknown master's mark has no dot in the end. Such details are extremely important and separate the lambs from the wolfs.
