Good evening,
I've this russian tray with, under it, a double interlaced P and, in a corner above, I think an M and W. I suppose it was made in Moscow in 1795. The assayer is Andrei Titov (AT) but i can't identify the other marks. Can anybody help me? Thank you!

The largest, which I have spoken about at length, is the one for medium-sized objects, and is the most commonly used.
The smaller one which has the rounded shield at the top is the one for small objects.
