Collection of European Religious and Commemorative Medallions

This assembly consists of four distinct vintage medallions, likely of German or European origin, crafted from various base metals including silvertone alloys and enameled finishes. The set includes: 1) A shield-shaped badge for 'Harz' (Germany) featuring a green enameled evergreen tree and German text. 2) A round blue enameled 'Ullr' medallion, depicting the Norse god of skiing, inscribed 'Schutzpatron der Skifahrer' (Patron Saint of Skiers) with dual suspension loops for a watch fob or bracelet. 3) An oval medallion depicting a high-ranking cleric or saint, possibly related to the Halberstadt or Osnabrück regions based on the visible 'ST' and city-name lettering. 4) A circular St. Christopher medal, the traditional patron of travelers, featuring a high-relief depiction of the saint carrying the Christ child. The pieces exhibit a range of patinas from naturally aged oxidation to slight mechanical wear on the relief highlights. Construction details suggest mid-20th-century manufacturing, likely circa 1940s-1970s. The items show signs of use such as minor scratches and tarnish, but remain in good collectible condition with legible inscriptions and intact enamel on the decorative pieces.
