I originally acquired this reference because of the MANY Faberge and other Russian items shown (such as the clock, above), and discovered, to my delight, a treasure trove of fine vintage Sterling goodies which follow -- many made by somewhat obscure (to me, at least) silversmiths in France, Switzerland, England, Scotland, Austria, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Canada, Sweden, and MORE! It would be a welcome addition to your sources to aid you update and complete your personal computer database of these fabulous Russian items, many having Imperial warrent!
