If my eyes don&#039;t lie me then the first two symbols are &quot;88&quot;&nbsp; which is Russian silver purity hallmark. They started to use it from 1847 and till the end of Empire. </p><p>In regards of Cyrillic letters - it is a makeer&#039;s hallmark (his last name actually), I can read only last four letters - &quot; РОВЪ&quot;. </p><p>The round hallmark - maybe a city assay hallmark, but I&#039;m not sure, it is very worn. </p><p>Try to take photos of the hallmarks in a better light, or to clean them a little bit and we might be able to read the whole maker&#039;s mark and, possibly, identify him. </p><p>I noticed there is also a &quot;MM&quot; monogram on the handle - looks like knife was a part of family&#039;s silverware set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
