Featured French silver cicada brooch

I know! Do they really expect us to search through all those pages?

 

My wife's been surfing numerous French travel sites & found a built-in App that translates most web pages into English fairly easily.I'll ask her which buttons to hit-doesn't seem like much cutting/pasting needed.

 

Lang's didn't have it either. Some jewelry marks are just very obscure. Maybe I'll never know the maker!

 

True. From any country.

But you get to enjoy their cicada.

 

That doesn't really help with 400 pages of photos of silver lozenges.

 

Sorry,it does seem to work pretty well one page at a time.As far as full texts/books ?

 

The site Bronwen posted has rows of photos.
There is no need for a translation, kyra is French and some of us can read French easily, but going through 400 pages with rows of photos of marks is impossible. One page already gives me a headache.

 

@Any Jewelry, is that an identifiable ? after the letters in the diamond shape?

 

That is the French boar's head mark, for .800 fineness.
You can't see the head itself because it is worn, but the shape is recognizable, if you know the mark.

 

Thank you!!!

 

If this makes it any easier for @stracci or anyone to look up, have at it!!! Make it smaller or I will.....(and I DID NOT put that little smiley face between the J and D!!!!)

​

 

I think the image between the J and D is a castle or tower.
Under a 20x loupe, It looks like this to me:

 

Have you tried the WaybackMachine Internet Archive?
HERE is a long list of webpages from that website which have been saved.

 

I just had a look

But the silly me don't know how to accede to the pages of marks

 

We can be silly together, I looked but I haven't got a clue.

 

I tried several ways and all that comes up is "that web page cannot be found" for ANY of them!!!!!!!!!!

 

@bluumz, Can YOU make any of them work? IF SO, HOW....inquiring minds are curious!!!

 

Is THIS helpful? (For some reason, it takes a while to load the page for me, and some of the photos don't load but you can click on the photo icons to bring them up.)
