Which .750 gold hallmarks? Belgium or Austria?

Postby capa » Fri Jan 09, 2015 9:28 am

Hello,

I obtained very interesting watch in golden case. The movement is French, but case bears hallmarks that I cannot identify.
There are man's head to the right in hexagon (with number 3, obviously for gold purity, 0.750 I suppose).
Back cover also bears hallmark similar to anchor, other parts - just head in hexagon.

No french owls, swans, shells, any birds or animals, year letter marks, british lions or other familiar to me symbols..

Thanks for reply.

I was advised it's Hippocrates head and it's French.
The last thing is to know anchor origin - it seems to be some import mark?
