Post by: dances with badgers on July 06, 2012, 06:33:20 PM
hello peeps,since my last gold ring i aint found much except this beauty of a silver st christopher .its vintage and weighs 3.5gms.
 it was made by a danish silversmith called gorge jenson and is very collectable if anyone can put a date on it would be nice.i think its art nouvea or deco by the artwork on the back but feel free to correct me on this.i like it because its different to the usual beach st christophers.good quality piece of jewellry ;)

OK well you've probably done the same internet searches as me but just in case here's what I have found.
There an awful lot of them out there  ;D
I can't see the actual mark on your piece as the pic has bleached out, but it would appear there is some doubt as to weather many of these medals have any age or are actually made by the George Jenson company, as many are marked "silver" whereas his older St Cristophers are generally hallmarked.
The Company is still trading so a quick email should give you all the info you need.
Oh and it's "art deco" ;)
