Good morning, Ken,
The casting mark is quite small and would most likely be somewhere on the base (possibly even underneath, between the bronze and the marble base. You can see examples of the mark at this link: https://www.sillafineantiques.com/francois-auguste-hippolyte-peyrol/.
If you see the mark, please add a photo and let me know so I can update the value.
Thanks, Delia

I added a few more photos but did not see the mark you were referring to. Is there somewhere in particular I should look?
