              From the photos it is hard to tell but it looks like a Souval. Look at the top arm to the left side, are two of the beads connected? If so then it is a Souval. Jim

                    I agree with Daniel and Jim, a Souval.

                    Here is the distinguishing feature of a Souval frame. Do you see the 'foot' at the end of the beading on the outside corner? Some call this a 'chicken foot'. It's characteristic of all Souval crosses. 'Beads' are the row of small vertical silver half-round coin-looking engravings that border the black iron center core. Commonly called 'beading.'

                          Why postwar? If you need any better picture I'll make the effort with my crappy camera, but in my opinion it's a good period one

                            There is an excellent article on Souval crosses on this forum and I believe because of the connecting beads that it is a war time piece. Please read the article. Jim
