Particularly the strangely shaped "rampant lion" (who is standing on his hind legs, so not really "rampant",) the various crowned letter, etc. I can't even tell whether what you are seeing as a 10 in a square is really that. And if these were French and plated, the maker's mark would also be inside a square and all those crowned letters would not be there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another possibility is Dutch, although it may simply be that what "looks" Dutch may again be the way Hanau makers "borrowed" similar marks from other jurisdictions.
