Re: Purpose of a French (medical?) tool?

Hi,
I do not know what the medical tool is.
The maker's mark belongs in my opinion to Boyer-Callot,30 rue Sainte-Croix de la Bretonnerie Paris (1865).
The symbol is the stem of a lily of the valley (muguet).

Re: unknown french marks

The leaf mark is the inventory mark for large articles, in use for Paris since 1819.
The Greek woman's head mark was introduced by the Association of Gold & Silversmiths during the period 1794-1797, but has no value as guarantee.
The letter in a lozenge stands for the maker's mark.
