I 'm a bit late. Nice crosses .

here is one of my document

Hi

Did he seved within the LC before or after being Officer candidate ? On the pics he don't wear any of the spanish war decorations (spanish cross, ribbons bar), so I guess the pics was taken before, or he didn't stay enough longer in Spain to get the commemoratives medals.

Very nice spanish crosses

jacques

with a bronze cross

a nice early badge worn

Here the design of the crowns

and this one too

found this one. Which is interesting is that he doesn't wear the SC, only the LCPz badge and the campaign medal; may be he lost his spanish cross !

SC silver

Scott,

Many thanks for that detail. More often than not these are seen awarded to Luftwaffe aircrew. I would assume they made the majority of SCiG awardees.

I have another which was awarded to SCiG awardee that I have shown previously.

Jacques,

The two you show look to have the same centre, mine are different from each other. See the castles and the shape of the lions. Do you mean that mine are variations from Ega?a?

I really like these. The design and the finish make them an attractive award.

Thanks to all who replied,

Rich

Yes, I do think it is a variation of Ega?a and WW2 period made. later or previous crosses don't have the same design. If you look at the pictures, comparing german awardees and spanish Azul Div members, they are differences.

May be our Spanish friends have more informations ?

Friendly

Hello Richard,

Both crosses look to Ega?a manufacture.

Oskar schmidt was attached to the 1./K88 and flewn the He111 25-4

There is a picture of him on a Legion condor book. I will have a look.

jacques

It looks like an original buntmetall Juncker cross. May be one of the eagles has been repaired.

Nice collection, specially the spanish crosses

Very nice plate !

jacques

A new one

Opened

closed cases

Hello,

Few pictures showing variants of the spanish cross cases used.

If you know other variants, please share them.

Hi,

sorry I was out .

It is a good one IMO, from the Pforzheim consortium Foerster/Mayer/Zimmermann which got part of the Schickle stock in 1941

Does anybody have a photo of Wilhelm Ensslen wearing his Cross with jewels. He was my Grandfathers cousin and i always wondered what he looked like.

Hi Gordon,

I guess that all the LC members were awarded with the spnish cross , at least when entitled to according to the regulations mentioned by James.

The KIA were awarded either with the SC bronze, silver or Gold, depending of the action in which they lost their live. The family received the Next of kin cross.
