An insult to St George, everything else included.
Unbelievable.

Yes, it it is absolutely Timbuktu. Reliable sources tell that Karl Fabergé spent some time there and but got bored so he started to produce this and that. He felt alone and invited his good fried Lev O. to join him and asked Lev to bring his assaying punches with him.
No, frankly, this is a typical example of how buyers knowing hardly anything about Russian silver marks are deceived. Nice "find" Goldstein ;-)))) put it in the safe.
