Small quantity of awardings. I think versions, 1957 did not exist.

you're right , no 1957 version for the spanish cross.

that's my turn ! I still not have a gold CEJ ..

great cased cross CHE

here is a better picture of Haro Harder, which unfortunatly lost on Ebay

Not often seen document for the spanish cross in silver without swords. Only 327 were awarded.

Here is a picture of a cased cross presented in a german magazine. The cross is presented as original, but I've been told that this green case isn't. In fact I don't know which color the diamonds cross cases were made of?

Period pics taken during the ceremony are not clear enough to determine the color of the case.

Guerd,

just have a look to the post #1

jacques

This one was on one of the last Hermann-Historica auctions. I don?t know, if this one is real or not.

CHE,

is your cross with diamonds named ?

Stan, could you make a close up of the top part ?

Fran, here is a link concerning this kind of fakes

close up, but unfortunatly no reverse.

Sorry, I totally forgot to post the promised pics. As I said, these come from another forum, presented as Harlinghausen cross which he continued to wear during his service in the Bundesluftwaffe.

looking at these early badges, they all have a fragile attach system, sometimes repaired. This could explain the Spain period pics showing it sewn.

here is an early badge

I think the first type of badges never had catch, badges have been sewn to a uniform.

P.S. Gentleman's, excuse me for my English

Jacque's photos:

No I don't think so. the badges had a pin, but in case of break they used to sewn it.

Baaaad

Keep away Fran

A funny ribbon

Another picture to illustrate the cuff title worn, here on an overcoat

one of the papers.

on this pics he is wearing Panzer Rgt.6 number on the shoulder boards. This pic is prior to 1944 because he don't wear the DK, nevertheless he is already well decorated.

medals bar: EK2, 4 years service medal, Oct 38, Afrika, Cruz roja, Medalla de la campa?a.

Spanish cross in silver,

EK1, LC panzer badge, Panzerkampf badge, Wounded badge,

He was awarded the DK, and I suppose he also got the Afrika cuff title.

on this pic you can see Meyer at the left and his neighbour also wear the Legion Condor Panzer badge.

another one in black panzer uniform

Here wearing the tropical uniform during Afrika campaign
