... A 2nd opinion on the Anna would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Pieter,

both look very nice!

Any marks on "black" Anna?

Cheers,

Nick

On the other hand not all "russians" were made in precious metals.

Take a look at this St,Anna with swords

Thanks Lars, your comments are well worth to ponder over. The enamel isn't "dirty", but has what appears to be tiny holes. The bottom arm is effected the most, but strangely enough the reverse isn't as effected.

Nick, I see what you mean! The border around the cross is nicely gilded, but the rest looks "cheapish". The pin is also longer and thinner and the plate is unmarked non-ferrous steel-coloured metal.

Very interesting mini Peter!

Screw plate and rosette look very russian to me.
