Old Scandinavian or German Silver Cross Pendant

By oliviarosaline, 13 October, 2016
Description

This was passed down to me from my grandmother who it was also passed down to and she did not know much about it. Her family was from Scandinavia mostly (Norway and Sweden) with a small few from Germany and the Netherlands so I would assume it would be from either Norway or Sweden, maybe somewhere around there. It is pure silver and very bendable, looks like hand made designs as they are not perfect or near even, each side of the cross has a different pattern. Fairly heavy and large but under a pound , I do not have a scale to weigh it. It is about 3 1/4" long a little over x 2 1/16 inches wide. Any info about it's origins and time era and or a value I'd much appreciate, thank you.
