That's a fine looking clock.
I enhanced your picture of the swan marks.
Maybe this will help another member identify them.

Hi,

It looks very much as the one in this thread, it's a French import mark on watches. It was also struck on items that were in public sale (an auction I presume). Used from 1893 till ca. 1970 (see Tardy).

I think what is confusing to me is the German hallmark... the cresent and crown is German right? The other little mark may be a Weevil????

Hi,

It is not so confusing. The clock was made in Germany (or atleast the case) and remarked in France.
