Catalogue Note
Le poinçon de cet orfèvre est onomastique et semble contenir un poisson. Etant donné qu'il ne semble pas présenter d'initiales, il était probablement le seul à son époque à présenter un poisson ou assimilé comme différent. Il pourrait donc s'agir du père de Pierre Ballin et grand-père du fameux Claude I Ballin. En effet, le poinçon de Pierre Ballin est PB et un dauphin. Nous remercions vivement Michèle Bimbenet-Privat pour son aide à l'éventuelle attribution de ce poinçon.
