I googled the words on this crucifix Gott Mit Uns (God With Us) and found this. This one looks just like her crucifix.
Was probably made by a German soldier during WWI, called a trench crucifix. They would carry it and stick it in the mud when in the trench. Has a German belt buckle in the center. I know this was Nana's because I remember seeing it at her apartment, but I don't know where she got it. Wish I knew the story.
