First Ring: Overall Condition: Good. Two tiny losses to enamel in one of the blue circles at the border and one of the white flowers, with a very tiny dent to the twisted wire cell of one of the blue flowers.

(Note that this ring is marked 88 zk., not 84 zk. as stated in the print and earlier online catalogues.) Second Ring: Overall Condition: Very Good. No losses or chips to the enamel noted. Fine bubbles scattered throughout, visible under 10x magnification. Gilding good. Marks (near the edge, the first in a separate cell): 1) the first "kokoshnik" mark in use 1899-1908, for items of 84 zk. silver, the assayer's initials rubbed but probably "IL" [Cyrillic] for Ivan Lebedkin of Moscow; 2) an indistinct maker's mark, possibly "-GT" [Cyrillic].
