Some "bycatch" with the group to a Foreign Legion Paratrooper who served in Indochine, his fathers and brothers awards, his brother was KIA in 1943... no maker mark, I assume this means early? Thanks, Chris

Hi Antonio, He was a German, do you think he was in the legion? Or was he an instructor from the Legion Condor?

I had a couple of document groups where the guy was awarded the EK2 twice. in one case an officer was awarded it twice in 1914... he had changed commands and both commands awarded him the EK2... but it did not mean he could wear two. Another group was a guy who got the postwar EK2 awarded twice as the awarding authority changed and they overlooked the fact that it had been already awarded. I think there is no official way to wear two. although, if someone had served in GSWA before the war he may have had the the black and white ribbon on the bar... and some collector just swapped out the medals?
