Help identifying a silver lion statue

Post by Goroohen »

I have a silver statue of a lion that I believe to be around fifteen years old. It is made of 800 fineness silver and seems to resemble an Italian design from the eighteenth century, although I'm not entirely sure. The statue has several markings, but I'm struggling to determine its origin.

Could someone help me identify the maker of this statue? I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Sorry but this statue is not Soviet made. The second and third picture (Worker's head in cut oval frame) tells that it is imported between 1947-1954 from ??? Anyway, silver it is in not less than .800.

Hello! Not made in the USSR. Brought to the USSR in the second quarter of the 20th century. Silver sample not lower than 800. Information should be found in photo #4.
