I wish I could help, but I can't read Russian either. It's a really neat piece though. Looks like it has 1958 on it in the last pic? There are a few Russian hunters that post on the Relic Hunting forum maybe one of them can help you out. Good luck.

Thanks Nola...I think the date in the last photo is 1858 but there are other etchings of awards on the samovar (not pictured) and last one is dated 1909 so I think that may be when it was made but still not sure.

I have someone who can speak Russian, I will send it to him, and he can translate it for you. For right now, I could tell that the pic below the samovar says "1st Class" and the makers name is N.I. Batashev.

I'm very late to the party but saw this while looking for a particular stamp meaning for my samovar. I can tell you in the second picture on the right is the name of the manufacturer - Batasheva. The Batasheva, Batascheva, various spellings, family was very prominent in iron making and all kinds of metal making, crafting of products, etc. On yours I see N.N. Batashev with the city name Tula, probably where it was manufactured. 1st sort is literally what the 3rd picture says...maybe like 1st edition (I don't know). My eyes are not good enough to read the 4th picture but again see Batashev and Tula. The date may be 1858 or 1958 but since they manufactured goods since the 1700s it can't be the establishment date of the manufacturer so I would say (amateur alert!) it was the date produced. By the way, this is an Empire style samovar.

I looked closer at the 4th picture. Under the Imperial marking are two words like a smile : Torgovi dom = Trading House. There may be a word above that so it would be ____ Trading House
next line: fabricant dvora Manufactured =fabricant not sure what dvora is in this context - then I can't see enough of the beginning or ending of other words to figure it out, sorry!
