French (probably) makers mark
Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2006 1:36 pm
Hi all. No point in a photo here as it is easily described.
I have a watch which looks like early 19th century (but could be a late 19thC immitation) which I am fairly sure is French. I can see no hallmarks so it may be plated but there are two marks
a) The maker's lozenge with a simple capital "TL" and nothing else
b) A circile badly rubbed but which appears to contain the letters CHRYSOC... plus 2-3 letters unreadable. It could just be CHP.YSOC
I am not 100% convinced this is silver but any thought would be useful.
Thanks.
