Posting this for a friend from her Dad's collection.
10.9g
Brass
Has outstanding color on the obverse/front.
Looks like it was held on by a ribbon.
Maybe a little bit of Latin under St. Christopher.
Any additional info would be greatly appreciated.
I know she'll want to sell it...if interested...send me a PM with what you'd be willing to pay and I'll pass it on to her.
Thank you.

In interesting piece @smat, but I wonder if it isn't key fob rather than a medal (especially considering the subject). As to the inclusion of St. Christopher, I'm quite sure that he is the patron saint of travelers, offering protection against car accidents. Any way you slice it though, it is a way cool piece. Thx for posting!

Looks like French to me, specifically: "Regarde St. Christophe puis, va t'en possure."

A throwaway liberal translation might be: Pray to/Behold/Contemplate St. Christopher -- Then go ahead and travel.

Given Christopher's specialty, this was probably a key fob, basically a short strap of leather with a ring to hold the keys, sorta like this Google result:

Sorry to report I can't even venture a guess as to value.
