Guest Rick Research Posted July 17, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted July 17, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberdeen Medals Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 And I would suggest nothing to do with Great Britain or the Commonwelath basis the inclusion of 'Stars' on the wings of the aircraft depicted Almost certainly of USA manufacture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
