Hi,

That appears to be the maker's mark of Campenhout, Rue Crussol 15, Paris.

I don't know Campenhut, but that is a Dutch import mark upside down above it, and it sounds like he had Dutch origins.

It has the Mercury French mark as well on top

[oel]

Dutch script-letter V; duty mark for imported gold and silver objects, the V for the Dutch word ‘vreemd’ which translate to foreign. The mark gives no guarantee of standard of fineness. It was intended for imported objects only. It was however sometimes by mistake used on old objects of national origin. Used 1906-1953.
