Silver made in Russia was marked with numbers such as 84. The base or 100% pure number was 96, which was called a Zolotnik. An item marked 84 would be 84/96 or .875 pure silver. Other numerical marks that can be found on Russian silver include 88 (.9166 pure) and 91 (.9479). Russian silver was usually profusely marked. It is normal to find numerous marks on each part of a Russian silver beer stein, including the body, the lid and the handle

First and most important is the word "STERLING" also stamped on that tray? If not, it is silver plated and would have zero value unfortunately. If it IS marked sterling, then you will need to weigh it. Once you have the weight, you can go to a sterling silver specialist like the Silver and Gold Exchange. If you decide to sell to them, they will pay for the shipping and insurance. Good Luck!
