I have a Russian charka. I have found out that the charka is from Moscow, from 1862 and the assayer has been A.Svechin. The silversmith is IA which I don't know. IP: Logged |

The maker's mark looks dark on my monitor. Is there a dot between the two letters of the mark? IP: Logged |

There are two different IA marks listed for an unidentified master in Moscow 1846-62 in Postnikova-Loseva et al., with one of them (2470 in the 1983 ed.) resembling this mark but with a pellet between the letters. The other masters listed for Moscow with those initials are later. I'd take as a starting assumption that this unidentified master is your maker, with another mark. Given the amount of Russian silver you're dealing with, I'd suggest it worthwhile to try to get at least a photocopy of Postnikova-Loseva et al. A university library near you may well have it (there are, at least, editions of 1967, 1983, 1995, and 2003), and the marks section of just over 200 pages copies well.

Thanks for your comments. I have been trying to find more catalogs on russian marks. Unfortunately not finding yet from general bookstores and antiquarian bookstores. I will try the university liberies. Unfortunately I don't have a credit card so I could order this kind of books from Amazon. I have currently only the P.L.Paulson catalog. It is very good but a little outdated. I will put up the Postnikova-Loseva in the list of good books to get. I would also like to get the Russian gold and silverwork, 17th-19th century by Alexander von Solodkoff. IP: Logged |
