Russian cross - Faberge?

This is a 2” silver guilded cross, with cloisonné and what looks like red and green garnet inclusions, and elaborate engraving on the back. There are two stamps: 88 with kokoshnik looking to the left (indicating 1899-1908 period), and a silversmith
stamp in Cyrillic «К Ф». Is this Faberge or a fake?

The mark certainly appears to be that of Fabergé. But deciding whether it’s the real deal or a knock-off would take the eye of an expert appraiser, examining the cross in the flesh, rather than from a photo. It’s provenance would also be important - where has this been, and how did it get to you?

ETA: Where is Geoffrey Munn when you need him?! :wink:
