The shipping costs for the 50 states and Puerto Rico are included in the listed price of this item. For any other destination, please email for a shipping quote BEFORE offerding. I ship only by USPS Priority Mail & Express Mail, no exceptions.The server offered here is a bit of a puzzler. The only mark is 84 inside of a cartouche on the front of the blade. The hollow handle has a tightly woven pattern, and the pierced blade is expertly hand engraved with leaves and florals. The 84 mark shows up on both French and Russian silver, but is accompanied by another mark. The French 84 mark indicates 84 grams of plate. The Russian 84 mark accompanied by the kokoshnik indicates 875/1000 silver. However, the 84 mark by itself could indicate a special form of ware produced in Russia for sale to the Spanish settlers in early California. These wares were sold through Russian trading posts, the most familiar being Fort Ross on the upper California coast. This trade ceased after \"Seward\'s Folly\", the purchase of the Alaska Territory by the United States in 1867.The server offered here measures about 11”. This is not a piece of new silver. It shows the patina of possibly more than 160 years of use. There are the light scratches which constitute normal patina. There is no monogram. Silver is softly lustrous. There is a weak place where the handle attaches to the blade. The pattern is crisp and clear. I polish all silver before listing on . Please email with any questions before offerding. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE sale DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY. BY offerDING YOU AGREE TO AofferE BY MY TERMS OF SALE including the cost and method of shipping and my return policy. I welcome international buyers, but remember that shipping charges can be high. Ask before you offer. Winning buyer to pay shipping charges unless otherwise specified. I ship by United States Postal Service only. I ship all silverware via USPS Priority Mail in boxes. I NEVER ship silverware in envelopes. I insure ALL shipping, as I sell old and scarce items that cannot be easily replaced. Domestic shipping charge for 1 pound or under is now $4.95, which is Priority Mail. International shipping charges vary widely, and I now must use only International Priority shipping, in order to be able to insure the package, purchase a tracking number and proof of delivery, all of which protect both buyer and seller. I now print shipping labels online to keep shipping costs down as much as possible, so I can ship only to the buyer’s confirmed address. I regret that I can no longer ship gifts directly to the recipient. Payment in US funds only, and I accept only Paypal. I must receive payment in full within 7 days after the end of sale. Returns accepted only if there is a provable serious error in the listing. A buyer’s failure to read the entire description before offerding is not a valid reason for a return. I must be notified within 14 days of receipt of goods. Items must be postmarked within 14 days of receipt, and must be returned in the original packing. No frivolous returns accepted. This return policy is not intended to allow returns for items that do not sell at the buyer’s venue, or items that are purchased with intent to use for a special occasion and then be returned.
