Hi Everyone,
I'd appreciate any help from the forum on this. I recently un-Earthed a very old (I believe from the 1850s) St. Christopher Patron Saint of Travelers gold medallion at a gold rush '49ers site. The place was a campground where many spent the night to and from California from 1848 to about 1855.
Below you will see photos of the medallion as well of the close up of the hallmark. It has the 18k stamped on the back and then a hallmark symbol which looks like an arrow between a colon (see photo) or a U. Can anyone identify this hallmark? I've researched online and can't find any reference so I am hoping someone can help me here.
Thank you in advance!
