[QUOTE="Lecollectionneur, post: 424152, member: 8569"]91 zolotniki like that ? :angelic: [IMG]http://www.lecollectionneur.ch/_Media/_dsc5224.jpeg[/IMG] on that cigarette case [IMG]http://www.lecollectionneur.ch/_Media/_dsc5226.jpeg[/IMG] excuse me for the bad picture quality, but just made quickly to illustrate this post :bag: High grade of purity is used on the most complicated pieces simply because the melting point is higher, if you have to put your work several times in oven for a lot of differents colours, more high you are and more easy it is to make. To support enamel and the fact than silver is soft after heating, the widht of silver used is easily twice as for embossed work for those reasons. This is a good way to be sure your russian silver item is make under the tzar era, they are very heavy comparing to revolutionary or german for example, a good cigarette case weights easily 300 grams(pieces make combining gun metal and silver are not in that category, always lighter than silver ones). I haven't seen faked nicotiniana pieces using the technique of soldering authentic hallmarks as you can find on table pieces, the most dangerous pieces made in israel with faked hallmarks obtained by electrolysis of faked kokoshnik punches.[/QUOTE]
