This is a Paris Post Office ,single letter cancellation in use since 1852. A single letter in a diamond dot cancel of " F " would be Saint-Dominique-Saint-Germain.

Thanks. My wife thought maybe "F" but the shorter, lower arm seemed angled too much. I wanted the anchor (for paquebot) but couldn't make it work. Now, where can I find a list of the Paris Post Office ID marks?
