<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 11643591, member: 111&quot;]I&#039;m no expert on Russian gold and silver marks, an area filled with fakes, but to my eye, your marks aren&#039;t quite right, the quality of the punches is poor, with little detail to the head (also sort of looks like it might be struck over another square or rectangular mark), and the other mark seems to have difficult to discern Cyrillic&nbsp; letters.&nbsp; There should be a stamp indicating the fineness of the gold in zolotnik, along with the assayer&#039;s initials, if the left-facing head alone was used (more commonly on a secondary part), it would bear the same assayer&#039;s initials.</p><p><br /></p><p>From Tardy:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]546622[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a 56 zolotnik (14 karat) gold ring bearing what looks to be correct marks, though again, not really my area:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/278886-first-russian-kokoshnik-stamp-1899-1904?in=1238-activity" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/278886-first-russian-kokoshnik-stamp-1899-1904?in=1238-activity" rel="nofollow">https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/278886-first-russian-kokoshnik-stamp-1899-1904?in=1238-activity</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]546623[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
