Hello,
This is a handsome piece. The cross is about 2 1/8 inches long and has a wonderful Eastlake-like inspired design. It appears to be pretty old, with hand engraved initials on the backside in an elegant script. It doesn't have a maker's hallmark, or any indication of it's metal content.

Thanks,..............T
