Thank you New update

The differences between second and third class crossings are almost impossible to appreciate in black and white photographs. The plaque of 2nd class, is in silver with castles and lions in gold. The plaque of 3rd class is in gold with castles and lions in silver. The Great Cross is the third class with the sash, which is not seen in any of the photographs of the German admirals. That is why it is necessary to find the concession decrees where the class is specified

I dont know the date for this admiral It depends on the employment he had when he was granted. The model of the pic is used from 1939 The second class cross, for commander, lieutenant commander, and also lieutenant colonels and assimilated Third class, for captains, colonels and assimilated. I suposse thath for this class

Update of the ribbon sheet

Thank you VJK Previously I found the name as Giichi Nagata, chief of the Independent Field Artillery Brigade in the 3rd Army.

The French presence in the Spanish military Autor: Comisión Española de Historia Militar This ninth volume of the Cuadernos de Historia Militar focuses on the French presence in the various constituent parts of the Spanish militia, a presence that has its particularities and differences to those studied in previous volumes, but which can be traced over time, beginning with the Reconquest and ending in the middle of the Twenty Century. Men, units, materials and procedures were elements of this presence. https://publicaciones.defensa.gob.es/media/downloadable/files/links/t/h/the_french_presence_in_the_spanish_military.pdf

The Cross of 2nd class is a silver plaque, with the cross in the center, and is worn on the left side of the chest, without other distinction. In the 3rd class the plaque is gold, and larger. The fourth class or Grand Cross insignia had a wide ribbon sashwith a pendant 1st cross. In addition they used the third class plate with the rectangle for the silver inscription The one he wears may be second class, but on the opposite side to the regulation

In 2002, a new system of Decorations was established in the National Police, made up of Honorary, Anniversary, Years of Service and Academic Medals. Among the honorary medals are a. Medalla al Valor "Subcomisionado Juan Ramón Tórrez Espinoza" b. Medalla al Mérito "Primer Comisionado Christian Munguía Alvarado" c. Medalla al Servicio Distinguido "Comandante de Regimiento Saúl Álvarez Ramírez" that seem to replace the previous ones a) Medalla al Valor "Pedro Aráuz Palacios" b) Medalla al Mérito "Marcos Somarriba" c) Medalla al Servicio Distinguido "Comandante de Regimiento Saúl Álvarez Ramírez" Then this Marcos Somarriba Medal of Merit would be awarded to the Police who have an outstanding participation in police activities related to the maintenance of public order, the security of people and their property, the investigation and clarification of the crime, or that with the outstanding result of their work in administrative, logistical, scientific-technical, financial and service activities, contribute to the modernization, development and strengthening of the institution. I have read concessions that have been made posthumously. The medal of merit is awarded in three classes, depending on the hierarchical level held by the decorated person. a. First Class (Gold plating), will be awarded to general officers and above. b. Second Class (Silver), will be awarded to junior officers. c. Third Class (Bronze), will be awarded to officials of the executive rank. However, when a Police Officer, Junior Officer or Executive Officer, is decorated for the second time with one of these medals, the new Medal will be awarded in the immediately superior class.

Muchas gracias Thank you for the info Here the uniform http://www.mlorenz.at/images/03_infanterie_1-38.jpg

I would like to confirm the uniform that King Alfonso XIII of Spain wears in this portrait. I know that he visited Vienna in 1905 and the press indicated that he wore the uniform of a Hungarian colonel. In the same way I would like to confirm the decorations. The sash looks like that of Saint Stephan . On the neck I don't know if it's the Teutonic Mariencross Any information is appreciated

Thank you At least 32 insignia of this order were awarded to people associated with the Arab world between 1928 and 1956, including Arabia, Lebanon and Syria Another option is that the fabrication is Italian or Spanish and that it was distributed in Egypt by this firm.
