The vast majority of French silver found today was made after 1838 and will bear only two marks; Silver Guarantee & Maker's Mark.

The left example shows the large guarantee mark (Minerve) & maker's mark.
The right example the small guarantee mark (boar's head) and maker's mark.
These marks are usually not in close proximity as shown in the examples.
