Antonio Prieto Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 This rectangle is for the inscription of the date of the action or concession. Also is possible see more rectangles in the other arms, any for each concession Please see more at: http://www.coleccionesmilitares.com/medallas/texto/cguerra.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obergefreiter Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 I know that this is comparing apples to oranges, but in the grand scheme of things, would this award be comparable to an Iron Cross 1st. Class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Some theorize the badges with the two side hooks on the reverse are WWII era (post Spanish Civil War). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
