Is this Arthus-Bertrand?

I posted pictures of the military medal in this forum about a month or so ago, and finally am able to post better pictures of the maker's mark. From my research, it appears as if the medal was made by Paris medal maker Arthus-Bertrand.

If anyone can confirm this, I would be very grateful. Also, if anyone can tell me if this particular mark was used during a certain period it would help me a great deal.

Regards,

Brandon

Hello and welcome.

I believe you are correct about that being Arthus Bertrand's mark.
The star above a wheel were his symbols.
It was registered in 1911, not sure how long it was used.
He was well known for producing medals for many countries.

Wait for others more experienced with French silver to confirm this and maybe provide more information.

Pat.

The medal also has the crab hallmark for silver. Would this narrow down the period it was produced?
