Hi Fer,

It's very difficult to be sure as the Minerva head is so distorted, but it would appear that with the absence of the number '2' under the chin that it would be the 1st standard 950/1000.

Odiot 7 place de la Madeleine Paris is the successor of Hénin & Cie, who worked from 1875 to 199?.

Hénin & Cie was active from 1875 to 1985. He worked on gold and silver.
Henin & Cie has entrusted the siver sector to Hénin & Vivier 1891-1896, and transfered from 33 to 77 rue des Archives in Paris.
Many of his designs are still manufactured today by Odiot.
