Good Morning all,

Does anyone recognise this factory monogram?

Current thoughts are it belongs to one of the early Russian naval torpedo factories:

1) Obukhov
2) Nikolaev
3) Lessner

The above factories operated between 1897 - 1908.
All thoughts welcome!
Thanks
Cheers

Well, wasn't quite close with the above Imperial Russian factories - turns out that it was most likely being:

Izhorskiye Zavody жорские заводы}​


From wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izhorskiye_Zavody

From the mid-19th century, the Izhora factory became an important supplier of armor for the Russian fleet and coastal fortifications. Torpedo boats and destroyers were also built at the factory. Between 1878 and 1900, 19 destroyers, including oil-fueled destroyers, and five minesweepers were built.

Cheers
