Hello everyone,

I'm a newcomer here and would greatly appreciate your expertise. I believe I have an bracelet that features a french weevil mark, but I'm uncertain about its year of import / manufacture. Additionally, I've noticed a half-circle mark and am unsure whether it's a hallmark or something else entirely. Does anyone have insight into this? Thank you!

Looks like my computer was extremely slow to display your photos, I can see them now!
The weevil mark in a rectangular frame was introduced on 1st July 1893 for imported objects in silver of at least 800/1000 standard. It was withdrawn from use on 28th February 1990. I can't identify the oval hallmark, it could be a mark from the country from which the bracelet was imported.
