Silver shoe buckle Hallmark ID

[thebmasur]

I got this silver shoe buckle for Christmas and am very curious about the hallmark on it. I wasn’t able to identify it and was hoping someone on here might have seen this mark before. It appears to be an “A” and “T” separated by a pear. I can provide more pics if needed! Thank you!

Yeah I suspect that is another marking as both places stamped with AT have a small mark like that near it. I hadn’t thought of French that’s good to know I’ll look into that. I’ll try and make out what the very small stamp is

Some times you need to clean out those tiny hallmarks with liquid dish soap and water and scrub it out with a soft tooth brush in order to make out what the are. You might see tiny little images like these.

That diamond shaped cartouche leads me to believe it's French and it is made in the style of French Rococo imo, https://www.925-1000.com/Ffrench_makers_A.html but I cannot find the initials A T. Also is this a little stamp mark that I've highlighted anything? Look closely at it with a loop as the French used tiny little relief images that indicate the grade of metal.

I agree. And that little unknown mark def looks like a french small guarantee mark
