Jacques , I assume you must have bought it if you were able to do the burn test and blacklight test?

Hi Sal, I see you quit biting your nails.

You mean about ebay Don?

That is the honking great big hook from the reverse of an Austrian trifold ribbon mounting and not the sort of little clip that would be UNDER the ribbon on the front of a South German style mounting like this.

Not that I think it matters, but what does the BACK look like?

No Pic of the back Ricky, I did not buy it. So yo no likee! I am glad I did not bid then!

and mm.

the reverse. Lemme know whatcha think please.

Thanks, Sal

Looks bad right? Looking for you Stogie!!!

This was also offered a while ago on ebay and this one I did not like. Any thoughts?

This was offered a while ago on ebay and looked ok to me but I wondered what the more experienced thought?

reverse

Here is one that was offered by Hermann Historica.

I believe it to be a fake. I dont like the pebbling , nor the "Godet" engraving among other things.

What are your thoughts.

Sorry but IMO that is a fake.

Best, Sal

I do not believe that this was awarded to LC members. Is that accurate jacques?

Best, Sal

Just using my amazing newfound superpowers to post this German photo of an English tank, presumably out of commission. Hopefully someone will take the ball and run with it.

Looks like a teeny weeny picture, but click on it and watch it grow

I bet you tell all the girls that

Was the luftwaffe cuff not worn also during the SCW?

It's called an Iron Cross 2nd Class Chris

Jaques I also thought the grips looked bad, the eagles did not concern me too much. After the other crosses you posted I have no doubt as to these being fakes. Thanks for the lesson!

is there anyoriginal B&NL catalog that lists them as offering a Spanish cross?

how did you discover it was fake Jacques?

So is it Romanian but having to do with the Spanish Civil War?

nothing but simple, let break your money-box...

The price asked for that thing wouldn't just break my bank, it could cripple many 3rd world economies!!!

Thanks for the pics Jacques! You know I have been wanting that cross for a LOOOOOOONG time!

Fran,

did you purchase those documents? If so can we see them please?

Thanks for all the replies. I still am not sure this explains the whole story though. The Condor airplane was not much if any earlier than the torpedoboot Kondor and yet spelled with a "C". I also don't see how the airplane name would be a "borrowed" word from another country as it was a German deseign.

I have a question, torpedoboot Kondor is spelled with a "K" but when Legion Condor is spelled with a "C". Both spellings seem to be original German spellings. Any ideas on why?

But not awarded to LC personel in gold class correct?

Its the 60's Dammit how far gone do you think I am you little hippie!!!?????
