Help Identifying the hallmark on spectacles frame (GOLD?)

Bought these vintage spectacles last week. Seems to be a gold frame but unsure of the markings on the nose bridge.

Please can someone tell me what this marking might say/Mean? I think the last 4 characters are "10CT" meaning ten carat gold. The first few characters i don't know. Can someone help here.

Hello Tom,
It looks very similar to a mark I have on a pair of pince-nez Spectacles which are 10ct rolled (or plated) gold and of a similar vintage.
Regards,
Simon
