Russian or Russian Influenced!

I’ve worn this for years and Never really took much notice of the marks :thinking:. Was it Possibly Russian made or made to emulate a Russian Crucifix ? :wink:

The mark with 925 is a Soviet Union mark. Not my area, but that should be a starting point for research.

Thank you Phil, always wondered if it was Soviet made. Maker and Date would be nice !!! :thinking:, suppose the Marks to the Left of the 925 lozenge are probably the Date or Makers mark !!! :wink:

On the left of the fineness number should be an outline 5-pointed star with a hammer and sickle inside although, to me, it looks more like the kokoshnik used on earlier Russian marks. The other mark, which is perhaps ГЛЋЯ, is the maker’s mark.
