Hello
Not French in either style or marks.
Will defer to Hanau experts to determine maker.

:::: Based on the importer (Solomon Herz & Company) sponsoring pieces by Storck & Sinsheimer of Hanau and looking at pieces in a very similar style and very similar quality you would have to look at Storck & Sinsheimer first :::: I noticed a Storck & Sinsheimer hallmark that was stylistically similar to an Austrian import hallmark, so maybe in this case they just decided to imitate a French rooster hallmark? :::
:::: This is indirect evidence since I haven't found direct evidence that links a chicken3 with fleur-de-lis hallmarks to a specific Hanau silver company ::::
:::: Hopefully someone has seen these hallmarks before and can either rule in favor of Storck & Sinsheimer or rule them out. :::::::
