I know what this is I thunk anyway, it's a cigar lighter. What I'm wanting to know is what it's worth if anything?

Thanks in advance

You sure it's not Catholic Church artefact?





What's best thing to do if it is?

Done a bit of research and seems to be what I say it is, I had also researched what the meaning was on the top.
 
Re:

looks more Orthodox than Catholic, although Russian crosses often have a 3rd bar.

2 bar is sometimes called Patriachal Cross and more recently Cross of Lorraine. Since its not hundreds of years old I suspect its an interesting artifact made for tourists maybe 50 years ago, but could be wrong, its the sort of thing my grandmother would have brought back from travelling in the 1950s

worth ? whatever someone will pay, personally nothing meaningful, sorry

ps don't know much about antiques but inhereted a lot of old stuff that's not worth much
 
Greek orthodox ?
like so many things, its either worth little or loads. Looks like brass so my guess id the former, but Im guessing.
Authenticity. Is it real, rare, desirable.
Provenance. Has someone nicked it ?
