Hopefully these are better images. I​​​​​ will have to figure out the weight. Don't have a scale. Not sure what the alloy is. No markings to tell me but the Marion cross might have a stamp/indent on it but I cannot make it out. Not sure on the thickness. I'll have to find a way to measure that.

If you do not have a scale, photograph the item next to a very common coin ( a US cent, 1 euro etc)

This LINK says it's a pilgrims medal maybe it comes with a crucifix.
H(EI)L(IGE) JUNGF(RAU) MARIA BITT(E) F(ÜR) UNS U(ND) D(IE) A(RMEN) HEIDENKINDER
H(EI)L(IGER) JOSEF BITT(E) F(ÜR) UNS U(ND) D(IE) A(RMEN) HEIDENKINDER

Holy Virgin Mary pray for us and the poor pagans * Saint Joseph pray for us and the poor pagans

The other stuff seems also to be religious stuff from or for pilgrims

I know they are German Catholic. Someone made a bracelet using these 3 pendants. I think they are from WWII but I am not sure. My grandfather was in WWII but nobody in my family recognize the bracelet. Wording in in German. I've translated what it says. I can post a picture of the bracelet if need be.

Yes I've found similar pendants but not the one I have. Saw the one listed on this site and was hoping someone could help. My plan is to take it to a coin dealer/collector, the Catholic Church and a museum to see what else I can learn about it. I have no idea if it belonged to my grandfather who was in WWII. Be might have found it but my family has no recollection of it. Chances of me finding the original owner...not good.
