Extra Notes

Russian occupied Warsaw and parts of Poland for much of the 19th century and an Imperial Russian Assay Office was operating from 1852-1899. This looks to be quite nicely made and I would like to feel from what I can see in the images that this piece is alright, but I should warn you that a number of fakes are reported bearing the Sonskowski Assay marks just like this and some people are now suspicious of all of these.

Returns excepted ! 14 days fully insured postage required by the buyer.
