For the records:
Пелагея Ефимовна Иванова (1895-1900 in Moscow) is not the actual maker but the daughter of her deceased father. According to the Russian law, she (and/or the widow) inherited and run the factory and with that the right to use a punch with her initials to her own death. The spoons are made in the factory probably by some apprentice ???
Moreover, as said many times before: There were no graduated FEMALE goldsmiths in former Russia.
Иванова also punched ПЕИ.

Pelageya's workshop also worked until 1895 and after 1900. She did not always put the brand "ПЕИ", but only in a short period of time.
