[Hodrenko]

Does anyone have any reference? I have not found the name of silversmith, nor any spoon similar to this one on the entire internet. Any expert who can help me?

Could it be a punch from 1788 from Russia? It seems that the 88 matches the type of punch according to the tardy

Hello!
You need to turn the picture over. "88" is the purity of silver in the zolotniks (916 in the metric system). The assay mark is from 1882-1898, but I doubt it is genuine.

Hi!

Yes it is imitating the famous court supplier Hlebnikov's mark. The items quality, style and marks are all wrong.
