<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 213255, member: 59&quot;]Welcome, GoodEye. Sorry to say that neither of my go-to sites for European silver have anything about him (which, frankly, I found a tad odd.) In fact a 10-year old post on one site&#039;s forum asking for identification of this mark, <u>finally</u> got an answer with only the name and dates you already have. (Again an odd situation, since a &quot;master&quot; maker of a significant reputation should have been fairly easy for one of the many European contributors to answer much more quickly than that. Certainly shouldn&#039;t have taken 10 years for someone to come along with it.)</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing to mention, though, in case you are not aware. All the items I get when searching the web with that name and mark are silver plated and not solid silver. Which is what I expected to see, actually, since French makers of solid silver items are required to use a diamond-shaped cartouche. A square is used for plate. The 10 that accompanies it has to do with the quantity of silver used in the plating. And finally, the word &quot;Double&quot; is also only seen on the maker&#039;s marks of French plated wares.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope all that was helpful and apologize that I&#039;d don&#039;t have more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
