Hello,
Who recognises this French maker's mark? It's a 2nd grade silver piece.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
SilverNL

Could it be an ant between L and B ? May be Leon Bavard (1900)... I will try to find literatures about him in order to confirm
Best regards,
Smokanabeach

I think it's LR, but LB is also possible. It's a rather odd mark, it could be an ant.
Best regards,
