<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 309916, member: 54"]I think the appearance of the piece speaks of a one-off or a handful made by hand by a jeweler or crafter. The hanger isn’t centered, nor is the cross. So the maker wasn’t making enough to make any kind of fixtures or tooling, this one and maybe a few others were handcrafted, if it was made in an industrialized country. Beyond that, unless you find one identical with detailed provenance, all is speculation because the Maltese Cross is such a common symbol. If it was made in a 3rd world country, a large number may have been made by hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
