Augustin Le Sage is the most likely candidate for this mark but there is no direct evidence as the register in which the mark would have been recorded (the 1758-1773 Largeworkers' Register) has been lost. However I have previously seen a 1767 piece with a mark attributed to him together with a plain A·L mark similar to the one here.
