the reverse clearly showing the CEJ and 900 marks

this picture shows the difference between the 2 marks

PASTOR of the post nr4 received also this one at the same shipping date. To be noted that the number is not the same as the first one.

Thanks for all the help Jacques and Francois!

If it can avoid you to loose money..the goal is done !

Jacques - another fantastic collection of documents!! Thanks for sharing them.

The list of awards raises a couple of medal/badge questions for me:

- Is the Cruz de Guerra the same as the "Al Merito en Campana" badge? NO, it is 2 different decorations

- How many classes of the Cruz de Blanca del Merito Militar were there and how did they differ from each other? PANZERPIONIER already answered that point : http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=8708

Thanks.

Lets go, here are mine.

Looks fine to me. This is the "Verb?dete" variant, the best one IMO for the gold and silver class.

Here is mine.

Hi,

Interesting group. It is not always the number of awarded decorations which is facinating but also the variety, even if it come single.

There is an thread concerning each of these documents, may be you can add them in.

These documents were sent to the family address of the former members of the LC , accompagnying the spanish medals documents and the SC document.

Let share yours

Which is particularly interesting on these document is the bigram Number/Date on the top left, and the date on top right, and of course the medals awarded.

It seems that there is an attribution number for each year.

What is also interesting is the wide range period and late date at which the documents were done and sent, between 1940 and 1943.

OK, that's what I though. Nothing to do with a genuine CEJ;

Flat cross

wrong eagles

large center disk

wrong pin's form

wrong MM

the MM should be like on that pic

Don't make the trade

Hi Andy,

The tex t slightly varies depending on the class of the awarded cross, to make a slight difference on the act of bravery. Honestly, I've no more explaination. I can study my files and try to find a logical one. thank s to point out that .

jacques

One could almost get the impression that you don't want me to collect these......

Lol...I already transmitted the virus to Sal....

Beautiful awards. If I ever get tired of PABs I know what I will collect next. Thanks for showing them.

Don't be too hurry .... Keep busy with the PAB's, there are so many variants to collect, then jump onto the numbered badges if it is not already done.

Hello Jacques,

Thanks for your response! I will indeed get a shot of the maker mark from the seller and post it here as soon as I get it.

ERIC

I'm not confident with that cross, and if the MM is CEJ in a square, it will confirm my doubts.

Jacques & Panzerpioner, thank you for your help confirming this badge for me. This badge should be arriving next week!

Scott

Does the cross come with its original case ?

I think your cross is an "Ega?a" production.

another illustration

a pic taken during the Berlin parade (June 6th, 1939)

another pic of the same side cap

Another one to compare the form of the side cap presented by Francisco and period pictures. the pic was taken in Spain.

here is an illustration of the side cap worn

Hi,

It seems that the cross is maker's marked, could you ask for a picture of the MM ?
