Hi,

Although different, I couldn't help but notice a similarity between your mark and the one in this post: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=19516&p=44671#p44671

Perhaps there's an Italian connection?

Funny you keyed off the mark on the front. I hadn't even noticed those marks until I was reviewing the picture I took of the front for my whole image. This cross was in an old jewelry box and there was also a sterling rosary of a different style that was clearly marked Italy,so there is a definite possibility of an Italian connection. Thanks for the link to the other post.
