Every entry carries an image of the mark, its letters, the years it was in use and the shape of the shield. The letters and numerals struck on the mark itself — the maker’s initials, an abbreviated town or works name, an artel number, a year digit. Attribution almost always starts here: first find a mark with the same characters, then check the shield shape and the dates.
