Bronze candlestick makers mark

Can anyone make heads or tails of the mark? I suppose even if one could it wouldn’t end in an ID. Not as if candlestick makers are cataloged well unless they were made in silver. From an epic collection of early and very high quality sticks. This one was grouped together with a handful of others though. Sale runner didn’t think too much of that group I guess. Though I think they are likely to be mostly 18th century. Some sticks/pairs were bringing 5k-10k without even being silver. Early and rare. Anyhow I like my little grouping. This is the only marked example. Worth a longshot here. I’ve been surprised here many a time.

This stick is significantly heavier than the others, hence my bronze assumption. Even though it doesn’t necessarily look like most bronze. It also rings like a bell. I think it’s likely British I’d guess early 19th but 18th could be just as likely.

 

Russian? Last part looks like МИН Ь

 

М КУЗМИН Ь?
But no luck finding anything relevant with that name. Only a Mikhail Kuzmin, but he was a poet, musician and novelist

 

That would certainly explain why I couldn’t make sense of the lettering. Thanks!

 

Cyrillic writing for sure.
