I have a single chain French Chatelaine. I have identified one of the 3 marks on the website (between 1810 and 1838) but would be grateful for the marks at the top and bottom.

French Chatelaine marks
Re: French Chatelaine marks
Hello,
The bottom mark is the guarantee mark for French Provinces during the period 1819-1838 (15 = Department Charente, City of Angoulême). Angoulême is located in the South-West of France.
The top mark is the maker's mark (which is unknown to me).
Kind regards,

Re: French Chatelaine marks
Thank you very much for your reply. It was purchased at an antique market in Brittany and I use it for late 18thC living history. Your reply is most appreciated.
