Hi all, I may have discovered another clue and anyone's advice to take this clue further would be greatly appreciated! In the book, "Les 6000 poinçons de l'orfèvrerie française sous Louis XVI (1774-1791)", by Christophe GINTER, I found that the region of "Avignon et le Comtat Venaissi...

And let`s not forget there was huge Hanau (Swiss and elsewhere) production in GOLD, not only silver. As well as textile workers, who specialized in fashion and fancy goods, the new privileges in...
