The information on the hallmark of lictor fasces with axe head on the left with four horizontal bands and the other illustrations of hallmarks on this website come from the book Traditional French Jewellery, written by Mike Fieggen, expert in antique jewellery and hallmarks from Osprey Paris. This 300-page book, the definitive reference on French regional jewels and their hallmarks, is available in French and English in our store, on Amazon and at certain bookshops. A complete list of assay office marks, small secret marks in the hallmarks that allow you to identify in which city an object was hallmarked, as well as a list of the closing dates of the hallmark offices, are published in this book for the first time. You can thus locate the origin of the jewels and also date them with more precision.
