That St. Christopher item is known as a "surfer's cross" from the 1960s and is American; here is a link to a Wikipedia entry I wrote about them:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfer%27s_cross)
Although yours doesn't have a surfer on the back, St. Christopher is the patron saint of surfers.
The ones with a black ocross are worth anywhere between 25 and 50 dollars; red cross ones up to 100...
Believe it or not, I occasionally find genuine Iron Crosses alongside these surfer's crosses, as I recall, a swastika wasn't the verboten big deal in the 60s that it is now.
Also, I have seen these listed on Ebay as 1936 Olympic awards for lifesaving... really dumb..

I've been away from the EK scene for some time now but seem to recall there should be a "scrunched" or "skinny" bead on the W&L frames. Perhaps this is a different generation frame???
Can you take another look please and let me know your thoughts in that regard.
Thanks.
Regards,
Stu
