This was the best picture. Inside a lozenge shape is "M" followed by a dog then "R", the other marks are the eagle head and winged head of mercury. If anyone knows of the maker's mark or where I can go and findout about French maker's marks, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks

The French ministry site linked to below is useful. There are a dozen or so makers with the initials MR though none that I can see with a dog as a symbol. A rat between the two letters is the mark for Maximilien Rabouille.

You can find the site here though it is of course in French.

Wow, thanks for the fast reply. French, well that makes it tough.
The mark sure looked like a dog to me.

Hello.
I enhanced your picture of the mark.
Can't identify it, but maybe someone else can.

Still looks like a dog to me. Does anyone see a rat?
