Hi,

Few of these crosses were awarded to german soldiers of the Legion Condor. Most of them were awarded the spanish cross in gold too.

the Spanish Documents are always richly illustrated.

I wish you to find one stamped PZ.RGT.5 wub.gif

I got the same NATO docs too, for "Former-Yougoslavia", "Kosovo", "Afghanisatan".

And last one showing the marks . :food-smiley-004:

The reverse showing the details of the pin , the form of the grips and the hook.

I would like to share with all of you what are in my opinion the best spanish crosses.

MEYBAUER of Berlin made spanish crosses all along the war. these crosses are of high quality, very finelly detailed. this firm used several MM. I have encountered the following ones: "900", "900 + coat of arms", "coat of arms", L/13. Some crosses ae unmarked but the details are those of this firm. to my knowledge, MEYBAUER never used the LDO nbr "7" on its crosses.

the crosses were manufactured in bronze, tombac, massive silver.

Eagles: they are sharp detailed. the swas are square and show 2 cut out branches

Swords: the grips have 7 twists. they are thin.

Pin: generally the pins are massives and large at the top. it is typical on the L/13 variant.

Hook: two variants exist. the hook for the "L/13" is round. For the other crosses it is of a half-moon section, always directly soldered to the cross.

Here are presented 3 crosses:

Top: L/13

Bottom left: 900

Bottom right: 900 + coat of arms

Super Panzer wrap ! I don't collect that, but I always really enjoy seeing such beautiful and rare items. I know two others, for privates. One from the PzRgt5 too. Do you also own the beret ?

Hi,

This kind of document exist for each class of this badge. Few variants do exist in the text for the silver and bronze classes. the signature is a facsimile with a dry big stamp on the bottom left.

Here is one for the gold class, it has been punched ot the top. I'm waiting for your ones.
