Hi All,

We inherited this cutlery from a Polish parent (it's been in the family for around 4 generations) and we can't find any reference to the markings anywhere. I hope you may be able to help?







Many Thanks

Bill

Hi,
It was made in Soviet Union and unfortunately it`s not silver but copper-nickel-zinc alloy as indicated by the abbreviation in Russian:
МНЦ - медно-никелево-цинковый сплав
There is even a price stamped on every piece which was common in socialist government centralized economy ( 1 Ruble and 30 kopecks).
Will try to identify the manufacturer.
Regards

It was made in Ukraine, Soviet Union at the time.
``Mark ЗиШ in oval`` Вольнянский "Завод имени Т. Г. Шевченко"
Shevchenko Volnyansk Factory.
