Hello there, The standing bear is the hallmark for Switzerland used between 1882 and 1934 and this matches with the square hallmark with 0.925 because it is the title for the silver. FX & R is the marker's mark, unfortunately I cannot trace it. Could you also please let me know what is exactly the mark below 5536495. If it is a letter it could tell in which Swiss city, this watch has been assayed. If you send me this information I shall let you know.
Hope this has helped. Best Regards. Myriam
