Nikolai Kemper St. Petersburg ?

Post by silverfan »

On my silver match safe I found a maker's mark NK in cyrillic. Is it Nikolai Kemper from St. Petersburg?
BTW perhaps somebody can tell me the translation of the in gold written text.

Yes it is Nikolay Fyodorovich Kemper in StP 1892-1908. Unfortunately I'm unable to read the text. Is it Russian at all? If so, very difficult handwriting, sorry!

It also looks like cursive Russian Cyrillic, which could be a headache to decipher!
