Help with maker's mark (FCC) - early 19th century?
This mark is on a French silver salt dating to around 1810, based on the hallmarks for Paris and fineness.
Does anyone recognize the maker?

Firmin Chrisostome Cauet
Born: 23 Mar 1780, Arqueves, Sommes, son of Jean Francois Cauet & Catherine Guillain
Married: 18 Apr 1801 [28 germinal an IX], Paris, to Anne Agnes Gau (ca 1778-29 Nov 1862)
Died: 19 Oct 1826, Arqueves, Sommes
Mark registered 1801/1801, 27 rue de Harlay and cancelled 20 Oct 1807; succeeded by Sixte-Simon Rion. He was almost certainly related to Parisian silversmith Nicholas Chrisostome Cauet (ca. 1755-1816; Master 1784), who was also from Somme.
Hope this helps!
