<p>[QUOTE=&quot;spartcom5, post: 3037193, member: 5213&quot;]I found an interesting tidbit of info on the Russian mark,</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Precious metal goods imported into Russia prior to 1882 were not marked as imports. At first they were left unmarked, later they were submitted for assay and carry an assayer&#039;s mark only. Customs brought the imported objects to an assaying office for testing, if the fineness was 84 (875 silver) zolotniki or more the assayer punched his mark, if the fineness was less the import was denied.&quot; My assayer is Kliment Zagayevsky represented by the number 3. <a href="https://www.925-1000.com/Frussia_kokoshnik_01.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.925-1000.com/Frussia_kokoshnik_01.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.925-1000.com/Frussia_kokoshnik_01.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
