French Silver Paste Buckle

[mintymin]

Hi everyone
I am in need of your wisdom again.
I have just bought an old? French silver buckle with paste stones. I wondered if anyone recognises the makers mark and could hazard a guess as to age?
The object in the middle of the AP marks could be a fruit of some description but I couldn’t say for sure.
It is the first ever piece in my collection that has bigorne marks on the reverse so I was pretty excited to see them in real life.
Again I appreciate all your help and expertise.
Big thanks

Dear Mintymin,

I would suggest Mr. Pierre Adrien (1910).

A, a fencing mask, P.

I can't find an image illustrating his goldsmith's mark... But I think it's a lead worth following.

Many thanks for the information. That does sound a promising lead.
