Hi guys I'm new to Silver collecting and to this forum as well, and was wondering if you can help me identify the maker of the hallmarks and when it was made? I was told its from France.

-When was it made?
-Who made it?

Many thanks guys!

Your marks are left to right top to bottom: Paris guarantee mark 1809-19 for medium sized objects, an association of goldsmiths mark that doesn't mean much but after 1793 paris, second coq mark again just for 950 silver, Paris 1809-19, the last mark is the maker's mark of Antoine THÉRY, who specialized in buckles and worked later than 1819.
You didn't give dimensions, so I can't say if it was a shoe or sash buckle. Not particularly rare, but that is a subjective opinion, everyone with money had a silver buckle, most were destroyed when they were no longer of use. We don't discuss value here.

Sorry I should have said he worked before and after the 1809-19 period, so I can't be more precise.
