Prosit!

George

Hi Marshall,

I've had a couple russian silver dealers look at tis piece,

Its one of three, Faberge, Ovchinnikov or Khlebnokov.

The damaged area is where the maker mark would be.

I need to find others made be these markers so I can compare details..

Thanks

George

more..I wish i could find a full size..

eagle detail..Crown bent back!

Heres a Rare solid silver Imperial Guard Helmet..Vodka tosting cup..

This one has some damage. But very hard to find original example. Stands approx. 2 1/2" tall.

Lots of reproductions on ebay lately..Not sure where they are coming from

but usually the Imperial crown between the eagle heads is in the incorrect style.

High quality eagle detail, made by one of the great Imperial Makers..

Heres a wierd ?

My G Uncle told a story about the times after the end of the war. He told me and my mother told me the same story.

GIs were rounding up members of the SS/SS Police for interagation.

He and a few others in that area, Would inject Peanut Butter under the skin in order to hide the tatooed SS#.

He said they were all tatooed under the arm Left or right I dont remember..

OR is this just another story..

George
