Re: Soviet Tazza
Thanks for that. What is the single mark of the woman facing left?
Re: Soviet Tazza
That is the mark of Latvia:
Although the outline appears circular in your image, it should in fact be ovular as per the above illustration.

Re: Soviet Tazza
Yes, the oval mark is Latvia's control mark for silver. However, the circular mark is not an actual hallmark but a warrant mark used in Latvia 1927-1940. It was punched on silver objects with attached parts as an indication of assay.
Re: Soviet Tazza
Forgot to tell that the oval shaped hallmark was implemented 1994. I believe that it is a remarking done after 1994. The original hallmark is the 875-mark from 1922-1940.
