Many Thanks

Re: Opinions on authenticity
Hi,
Forget it unless you are prepared to sell the house to afford an authentic item like this.
``But no, it`s a great find and a bargain at garage estate sale.``
Sorry.
Regards

Nothing authentic except for perhaps the raw material. Leave it!

Re: Opinions on authenticity
Maybe it looks better, but the marks....Take my advice and read these (all) sites and compare the marks shown on them with the "marks" on this "piece"_
https://www.925-1000.com/Frussia.html and get acquainted with the imperial Russian marking procedure before buying any Russian silver. You will save a lot of money to be used for better purposes.
FYI!
It is immediately to be seen a major conflict between the Fabergé mark and the town mark, and, and, and.... Frankly said, a ridiculous and senseless set of marks in general.
