Hi,
again I bet your help:
is this cigarette case really faberge? The hallmarks on both sides are different, that I don`t like. The saphire is genuine, this i have tested.
Sorry for the bad pics, no daylight.
Thanks for your help and kind regards
Steffen

Faberge?
Re: Faberge?
Good evening Steffen,
First off I will tell you that I am pleased that I was able to translate your username into English... :) Being 1/4 German has paid off afterall!
The marks would suggest August Hollming, St Petersburg, 1899-1908 but... are these the only two sets of hallmarks on the box? If so, then the outlook is not looking positive... There should also be a hallmark on the inside of the very small hinged lid. Do let us know.
Regards,
Piette

Re: Faberge?
Hi Piette,
so we soon can start to discuss in germany? (my english is not good :-))
You are right, there is a very small mark in small hinged lid, I will take a photo with daylight and show it later (we still have night),
Thanks and have a nice day
kind regards
Steffen

Re: Faberge?
Hi!
This is one more example of a marking that is not authentic Fabergé, we have seen these on this forum. None of the marks look correct, the cigarette case is most probably from early 20th century from a northern European country (but not Russia).

Re: Faberge?
Hi Juke,
thank you for our kind answer, you confirm my fears.
I took a photo of the mark in small hinged lid. It is very small, I can`t read it, but it is not 88 nor AH nor Faberge.

After reading here for month, I have my doubts that it is really faberge ..... the next hope is dead to get the first genuine faberge, but one day I will find one :-)
Have a nice sonday und thanks a lot for the quick help.
Kind regards
Steffen
