A second plaque from 8/F88

The documents for the medals (spanish cross, spanish medal) were sent to the family address inside a big cardboarded enveloppe by the OKW Sonderstab W. This one has been sent to Gustav OPRACH family address on October 4th, 1941.

[The swords could have been cut off by the period dealer. In this case, it seems to be very well done to avoid seing them from the obverse. I see no reason for a current faker to cut the swords. the pic is a little bit bright due to the flash , but I think the cross OK. On other crosses you still can see the color difference on the eagle's reverse where the swords where located. that can proove that the swords where cut off before the eagles placed or after. When, and in which condition ????

May be a spanish baseball cap

A beautiful one, one of my prefered. I think he was awarded the spanish cross in gold. as he wear the "cruz de guerra" he must have participated to a successful action. As he wears the observer badge, I suppose he served to the AS/88.

He has a beautiful sword

Thank you Gordon

Look at this one as it has been well worked. the swords have been cut off and then polished both on the eagle's reverse and center medaillon. the swords were strong soldered to the eagles.

May be the KM members were not awarded the campaign medal. Panzerpionier could help us . jacques

Another one from the same NCO

This one was to the Marine Schule Weserm?nde. he was awarded the spanish cross in bronze with swords.

This sailor is wearing the spanish cross in bronze with no swords

I open this thread and I hope that you'll share yours He is wearing a spanish cross in bronze with swords.

Here is another illustration of the ribbons bars showing the medal "Sufrimientos por la patria". Not so many guy were wounded among the PZ Gruppe Drohne. May be this one can be identified. jacques

Inside. The case I saw had a SC in bronze without swords.

Another green case with a siver cross stamped on the lid. Inside is dark blue velvet and silk. This is not mine. I only saw one at a show few years ago, had not enough money to buy two crosses, so I had chosen the other one Markus, what's your though about the date ? Post LDO for me !

This cross is gorgeous Gordon ! I like it

Another green box, more luxurious as the previous one. This one has the silver LDO logo on the top lid. It close with a push-button system.

this one had the swords cut off, then edges polished. the eagles were positionned and 3 points soldered later.
