Mysterious Dolly

Hello - I am trying to raise money for my Father and I decided to dig deep and sell off some items.
I have had this doll for years and thought it was cool because it had springs. Someone told me it was about 1895 - French. It has French tag on dress and a French cross of Lorraine around its neck.
The back of the head is kinda dented in which I was also told was a signature or mark.
It was mentioned that it resembled baby Jesus in the manger and these were given as gifts? Then someone else suggested it was from around 1915?
I am so confused and I need to sell it. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated - Thank you
