I checked our two French
dictionaries, and the only abbreviation for Comte I could find (in von
Ostermann’s Manual) was Cte.
But it doesn’t seem very likely
in this case that it’s cerium.
Could it be Cesare?

Subject: [PCCLIST] a NACO question, regarding French
Dear NACO colleagues,
I have a t.p. usage that appears to be “Ce.
[surname]”. Can someone confirm, as my dictionary cannot, that
“Ce.” is an abbreviation for the title of nobility
“Comte”?
Thanks in advance.
Carl
