Just for the fun of it and because the world wide web is so powerful, here is a translation from French to English of the description of the symbol in this maker's mark:

Instrument with which they imitate the shouting of the animals (spéc. the singing of birds) to call them, attract them. Decoys with whistle, with tongue (here) (Pipeaux), in frouer. (FROUER, intransitive verb, term of Hunt: Forge by hissing the shouting of the owl to attract birds).

- whistle with which they forge the voice of birds to attract them in a trap "
