WW2 Crucifix Germany

Description

I have a crucifix that I would love to know more about. Particularly, its history and authenticity. I know it has been in New Orleans for at least the last 30 years. The WW2 crosses strongly resemble it, but I noticed most crosses from that era had the skull and crossbones, but this one does not. It does have GERMANY etched in the back. I would really like to know if it is a replica or actually from that time period. Brass 4.25in
