Crossed arrows and silver base but what is it ?
The top of the enamel shows the crossed arrows and there are three symbols underneath that I can't make out what they are meant to be.
The base plate is hallmarked silver. I don't think it is military but can't find it after ages spent googling. Any help appreciated Thanks BrianL. |

Hi BrianL, welcome to the Forum. Your account is active and open for posts. Hopefully, the membership can identify your pendant. It appears to be sweetheart type jewellery.

may be a watch chain fob. The 3 wheat sheafs may suggest a Sheffield connection.

Thanks everyone, all really helpful.
Certainly Sheffield linked but no inscription on the back, a nice solid piece. Cheers BrianL |

Sometimes see these as "tribute" or "welcome home" medals. The town or city crest is used but affixed to a gold or silver "dangler".
Vaughton & Sons seem to have cornered the market on these but Gaunt also got a fair share of the pie. I have a WW1 one for Newcastle Emlin (Wales) with a scene of the castle depicted and then the reverse engraved in Welsh..... Have had it translated but sadly it just comes out as, more or less: "In recognition of the good work done for the mother country 1914-18" No name of an individual. |
