The head joint is marked "Krecmer CZ KLADNO STERLING SILVER" and the body joint is marked: RECITAL Aug.Rich.Hammig Markneukirchen 3844 S" (the S is inside of a triangle) the foot joint is unmarked. Assemble length of just over 26" the entire flute has tested positive for sterling silver.

Thank you,

Try googling at google.co.uk, or google.ru. I found information about a flute from the Soviet Union this way.

For google.ru, you will need a second window/tab open for translate.google. Go from English to Russian with the name of the flute. You will need to use translate because we have English keyboards. Then cut and paste into google.ru.

You can have google translate the webpages.

Google isn't a relational database. It is focused on the country of use, so what shows up on google.ru will not show up on google.com.
