Tupper, on the Internet, I found an Observer wing companion to your pilot . . .

Thank you Antonio!

Gordon, I've seen the term "Rokiski" used when describing every type of Spanish Air Force insgnia (primarilly wings) - often as a manufacturer of such insignia. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Rokiski literally means 'Spanish Air Force Emblem', and is not the name of a Spanish insignia company. Do I have that right? Tupper, please forgive me for hijackng your post for my tangental question.

Nice! What size?

One more: a 22mm red Military Merit Cross, along with a new family portrait.

A new addition from the 2024 SOS.

I am posting the Egaña MMI example below for reference purposes. All of the Egaña-marked MMI's posted in this thread (and in similar threads on other websites that I've seen) have the single raised "Egaña" mark front and reverse. The Egaña MMI below is of a slightly different design, and has no mark on the front, with the reverse having the "A.M." (left side) and "Indrustrias Egaña" (right side). Also of note on the front is the missing ~ over the N in 'Campana'. Has anyone else seen this type of Egaña MMI before? Could this be a German manufactured example? I found the medal below while surfing the web.

Nice!

Antonio, I was searching the Wehrmacht Awards Forum, and came across the photo below from WAF member, Gary B, in 2014 - here is the link: German Medal Bar with Order of Mehdauia.

I am not aware of a list of those who would have earned/qualified for the wound badge for service in Spain. I do know of three: Lt-RKT Walter Fromm (LW-Flak), Lt-RKT Otto Bertram (LW-Pilot), Hptmn-RKT Hermann Hogeback (LW-Pilot). My online searches acknowledge their wound badges earned in Spain, but don't provide specific award dates. Of the 183 badges to be awarded for service in Spain, 182 were in black, and one in silver. No gold badges were earned/awarded. I could be wrong, but Otto Bertram might be the silver winner, as there are period photos of him wearing a first pattern silver wound badge, and my research indicates he did not earn a further wound badge after the start of WWII. But again, no specifics on when his wound badge was presented.

I know this is an old thread, but would anyone interested in the German 1939 first-pattern/Legion Condor wound badge like to help determine when such wound badges were actually awarded to Germans wounded in Spain? If so, please see/comment in the post below . . . Earliest Award of the 1939 Wound Badge? https://gmic.co.uk/topic/81224-earliest-award-of-the-1939-wound-badge/#comment-721903

Question: What is the earliest documented award date of 1939 Wound Badge? The 1939 wound badge (first-pattern, aka ‘Legion Condor’) was instituted on 22 May 1939, and 183 were to be awarded to Germans wounded in the Spanish Civil War. Yet I haven't found a 1939 wound badge document dated from the summer of 1939 when all the Legion Condor award ceremonies took place, nor seen photo evidence of a wound badge being awarded like the Spanish Crosses were. LC veterans were eventually awarded their wound badges for Spanish service, but I am unable to determine exactly when. Full disclosure: I am not a wound badge or document collector, but I am interested in the Legion Condor, and would like to determine if/when 1939 first-pattern/LC wound badges were awarded during the summer of 1939. Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
