According to a Spanish website that sells replica badges the oval one with the St. Johns Eagle is:
Medida: 6 x 4,20 cms. aprox. Sin imperdible. Placa del Cuerpo de Investigación periodo 1938-1942. Franco reorganizó este organismo y le incorporó el águila de San Juan. Posteriormente, le daría el nombre de Cuerpo General de Policía a partir del 1942.
Which, according to google translate, means:
1938 SPANISH SECURITY AND INVESTIGATION BADGE
Measure: 6 x 4.20 cms. approx. Without safety pin. Plate of the Investigation Corps period 1938-1942. Franco reorganized this body and incorporated the San Juan Eagle. Later, he would give it the name of the General Police Corps as of 1942
They sell reproductions for 36.00 euros each or $ 42.79 USD.

Could it be a locally made sand casting?

Thank you all for your replies.
I have decided to leave them be and display them along with the rest of my Spanish Civil War items.
Thanks again.

I have 2 of the berets but I am missing the stars.
Any idea where I can get them?
Was there any other insignia they may have worn on the beret?
Thank you in advance.

Spanish Civil war era.
380 euros.

At the top center of the crest is a 5 pointed stat with rays projecting out.
At the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions there appears to be a small crown.
Along the bottom there is K, a stemmed rose, and a J.
On the left pillar are the letters "plus" and on the right pillar the letters "ultra"
I found a picture of basically the same crest on line unidentified also.
Except mine has the crown above the eagles heads.

Picked this up in a large group of assorted pins and badges.
Was able to determine it was Kingdom or Jugoslavia but that was it.
it measures about 1 1/4" by 1 3/8"
It is non magnetic.
Does anyone know the time period it was used and where it would have been worn and by whom?
Thank you very much in advance.
