Gefreiter Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Hi. I am new to the forum and delighted to have found such a wealth of information and interesting posts. I collect mainly WW1 militaria but I have this Spanish Cross KIA which I am sure must be a copy as only 315 were ever issued. However I would be interested in anyone's opinion particulary as to when it might have been made. The weight is 15.1 gms. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 A very warm welcome to the forum.... The next of kin Spanish Cross is a very rare award (as you say, only 315 awarded) but original examples are made of bronze. This one is certainly a post war fake.... when it was made is anybody's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gefreiter Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Thank you for your reply John. I am not disappointed as it cost me nothing, it was amongst my late Uncle's effects which I inherited with some WW1 medals when he died. I am just enjoying the forum immensely.
