Comments
Identifying the workshops for this type is often complex. It should be noted that the only difference is the quality of the striking: hammer striking for Morlaàs, pendulum striking for Pau. To identify the workshop of your piece, refer to the vintage (if only one workshop exists); otherwise, observe the quality of the striking. Note that the blanks resulting from these strikes are often wider and more regular for the Pau workshop than for the Morlaàs workshop (if there has been no filing).
