Nice Vintage Silver (stamped Silver) enamelled shield charm sometimes called travel, crest or holiday charms depicting Buckfast Abbey, part of an active Benedictine monastery at Buckfast, near Buckfastleigh, Devon, England. Dedicated to Saint Mary, it was founded in 1018 and run by the Cistercian order from 1147 until it was destroyed under the Dissolution of the Monasteries. In 1882 monks began living there again, and today it is a Benedictine foundation.

 

Would guess circa 1960’s. Excellent condition showing only minimal signs of wear as would depict use and age, would adorn any bracelet or souvenir charm collection.  Any queries please e-mail, money back guarantee if not as stated. Measures approx’ 15mm in length.

 

All charms come with a 5mm silver plate mounting ring / jump ring. Postage charges will be combined for multiple winning lots (insurance limits apply, ask if unsure) but please wait for my combined invoice. Overseas collector’s welcome.
