Hi, help needed on this item.
It is a large ornate crucifix which has some odd marks on.
Letters J.N.R.J which I believe is Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.
7.5 cm high and quite nice quality workmanship
Some signs still of gilding

Early silver crucifix ?

Hi Bob,
You are far more likely to get a response if you embed your images as few people will click on links.

Re: Early silver crucifix ?
Hi oel , I did look at the mark you refer to earlier but would the number 13 have been applied as well ?
I must admit that Hanau is the most likely attribution for this cross though. Any idea of the age ?
