These factories produced a wide range of jewelry, including jewelry made of gold, silver, and other metals.</p><p>Other hallmarks:</p><p>On silver products of the Soviet period, you can also find other hallmarks, such as numbers indicating the metal sample and the manufacturer&#039;s mark.</p><p>I see: 6 A (is there A or Λ)? Looks like it is or manufacture&#039;s mark or a number of person who made it. There is: 3c - probably it is: 3rd (third) grade. There is often showing kind of grade of item on the items: 1st Grade (the highest) , 2nd or 3rd Grade. 1c, 2c or 3c.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
