Hello!
This is Derpt, assayer is Alexander Shamarin (Александр Шамарин).
Who is maker?
Thanks in advance!

What a lousy punch, a real smudge. What letters do you see? I imagine seeing C.L. That would be Carl Friedrich Luetten (Luethen) 1818-1868, but....?

Yes, you are right - the maker mark is bad. But I do not see CL. Maybe EB - Eduard Brockhusen?

Cannot see a B, but with some imagination:
Sorry, a difficult case...

Could be Brockhusen...but the mark is still a bad punch. Aleksandr Shamarin's working period in Derpt/Dorpat/Tartu was 1863-1871
