Default Looking for a Norwegian pendant

Hi all!

A friend of mine has this pendant:
http://photo.meulie.net/v/various/pe...ndant.jpg.html

She bought it many years ago somewhere in a Norwegian tourist shop.
Now she would very much like to have more of these pendants.

Who knows any online store that sells this precise pendant?

The pendant is made of pewter, and is made up of a square cross with 2
single-bladed Viking axes.


Any help will be greatly appreciated! :-)


Greetings,
Evert

This is from the coat-of-arms of the Church of Norway, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Norway
The axes is in memory of St. Olav, who were killed with an axe in the
battle of Stiklestad, 1030.

You may try at the Nidaros Cathedral http://www.nidarosdomen.no/english/
The restoration works (NDR) runs a shop that sells souvenirs etc.

Thank you very much! :-)

I have emailed them, and already gotten a reply with a confirmation
that their museum shop indeed sells this specific necklace/pendant (in
3 different sizes!).

Thank you again, also on behalf of my friend.
