gold and tortoiseshell art nouveau comb

hi, folks:
I am trying to date and ID this comb. it has the mercury profile mark, what I think means it is French. I have only a drawing of the maker's mark. the mark is not very clear and I had no way to photograph it. I don't even know if the metal parts are solid or just plated. any clues? thanks a lot!
