By the way, a mark similar to the last one on the right was shown in the topic https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=53492

Hello!
I believe this fork was made in Malta. I'm interested in the hallmarks: what time period, who made it, etc.
Thanks in advance.

This torah pointer is definitely a fake.

Hello!
This is not a riza (риза). This is a coronet (венец). See examples:

Hello!
This is Kostroma, 1870s. The maker's mark is absent.

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.

Thanks in advance.

Examples of Riga customs marks are given.
