The mark is that of Paul Foucard, in Paris, 7 July 1913 to 28 March 1919.

Thanks for your answer,
Do you have any link for this dictionary ?
Why can we read P.M if the name is Paul Foucard ?
Thank you

The dictionary is not in print at the moment. Only 520 examples were printed, and they quickly sold out (at €650 each!) It is not known if and when it will be reprinted.
Silversmiths sometimes used their middle initials if they found there were already too many already using the initials they hoped to use.
