Hallmarks of Suzdal

Hallmarks of Suzdal: 5 records in the reference, dated between 1735 and 1773. By type: urban — 2, assay masters — 1, masters — 1. Shield shapes here: rectangle — 4, circle — 1. 2 different makers and works are named. Every entry carries an image of the mark, its letters, the years it was in use and the shape of the shield. A city mark was struck by the assay office of the town where the item was tested, next to the maker’s initials and the fineness mark. This combination is what ties a silver or gold object to a place and a date.
