danio Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Hi all, Could anyone give me some informations about this medal, pleaseeeee. How much it worth? Thanks!
Guest Rick Research Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 It's just an unofficial Catholic good luck charm. I've never seen one with military motifs on back... but that makes the time period and purpose of protection-while-traveling obvious. Church blessed ones would have some such indication. This is a commercial piece.
Mervyn Mitton Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Danio - I'm afraid that Rick is correct. A commercial item and probably not silver - so, sentimental value only. Probably dates to WW2 - St. Christopher's were worn as he was the Patron Saint for travellers. Mervyn
