An antique/ vintage German Saint Wolfgang of Regensburg button.

It measures approximately 2cm in diameter.

White metal with rigid shank.

Embossed wording S. Wolfgang Anno D 987; the bishop is holding an axe and crozier.

I have not polished it and the button has some tarnishing;

some wear in keeping with age and use; rubbed – please see all the photos.

Saint Wolfgang of Regensburg was bishop of Regensburg in Bavaria from

Christmas 972 until his death in 994; he was canonised in 1052.

Patron saint of carpenters and wood carvers, and the city of Regensburg.

He can be invoked against internal bleeding, paralysis, stomach diseases and strokes.
