GeorgeCL Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 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 frombut 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..George

GeorgeCL Posted January 11, 2006 Author Posted January 11, 2006 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..ThanksGeorge
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 That is one neat item. When I was 16 I bought a Zippo, loved it to death but couldnt do much with it... so I started smoking.....I am not much of a vodka shots fan... but if I owned this.......
GeorgeCL Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 Hi Chris,Lost my taste for Vodka a while back..But this is just fine..Prosit!George
