Maybe you could list the observations you have made already so we don't have to go over it again? We can't tell how it sounds when tapped, for...
Gail C____?
This is a random selection, could have found any number of others, but this starts as being about a menu & ends, at the moment, as an English...
Width & overall length? I can't figure out either in what way it is hinged. If you're willing to take the fabric off, could you show us? We...

Did you ever get a message at the e-mail address you used to register with the site asking to confirm it & did you reply? This is what's at the...
My malachite cameo is based on a Thorvaldsen relief. So are all the cameos in this parure: [IMG]...

This part strikes me as being hand made; the engraving is not at all symmetrical. Maybe those were places it was held in a clamp!
No problem. Hope the info in the link Holly posted will help you get established with the forum. And welcome! :)
Cyrillic?
Definitely not on the bottom & don't think so on the top either. Both places just look like a section of scored line, which stand out among all...
Separate names with a comma.
