Thank you Jacques. Yes, the detail is amazing. While mid-war, the color and hinge/catch styles make me think this is still a tombac award.
-
I know this is an old thread, but I just acquired this Deumer Bronze, and thought I'd post it for reference. Edit: I'd like to post larger pictures of it, but the size limit is rather restrictive.

Stunning flak banner Bob!
-
It looks like an early Meybauer cross with swords, that later had the swords removed . An early cross like this should have the fitted type case with hinge and clasp.
-
I've discovered this particular Spanish Cross has already been discussed in detail on other forums; several people think it's an authentic Meybauer in tombac.
-
Some additional details...
-
This unmarked cross caught my eye. To me it favors a Meybauer. There's an article in the Winter 2010 edition of IMC that mentions an unmarked Spanish Cross "which exhibit all of the details of Meybauer-manufactured cross but which are totally unmarked." Do such unmarked crosses exist in gold? Opinions welcome!

Amongst it's wider family members from the Spainsh Civil War...

Here's a photo with it's cousin...

And a shot of the reverse...

I've been looking for one of these at an affordable price for a while now. I finally had my opportunity at the SOS. I believe this is an Egana piece as the hardware on the reverse matches my Egana War Cross exactly. Here's the front...

Russian Federation Russian Aviation Badge Identification
Scott replied to Scott's topic in Russian Federation
Thank you Tac! -
Does anyone know what this badge is for? My guess is a commerative for an aviation-related anniversary of some sort. It's made of a lightweight metal (probably aluminum), measures approximately 52mm high x 50mm wide, and has a screw-back attachment. Any information on use and era would be appreciated. Thanks!
-
Thanks Pete. That's kind of what I thought too.
-
I don't know what this is or if it's authentic or fantacy. It's approximately 33mm (55mm with the pin) x 20mm; the flag is soldered to the anchor. Any opinions on purpose or authenticity? Thanks!

Kriegsmarine Kriegsmarine badges in wear.
Scott replied to Martin W's topic in Wehrmacht Medals, Decorations & Awards
Here's an odd one from my reference photo collection (not mine).

Brianch, Awhile back, I attempte to figure out which SCW campaign medals were from the SCW period, and which were from a later period... http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/17470-spanish-civil-war-campaign-medal-1936-39/page__hl__campaign__fromsearch__1 Bottom line: there were so many variants of the medal, I could never make the determination I was looking for.

Antonio, does your CD cover medals in detail from the Spaninsh Civil War period?
-
Wow Paul - that's a beauty. Congratulations on a nice find.
-
Thank you for the info Dolfek.

This book is being offered for sale, used, for $150 USD. Is this a rare book worth this price? Opinions welcome

Early (Condor Legion?) Silver Wound Badge
Scott replied to Hauptmann's topic in State, Civil Awards & Decorations
Gordon, When did members of the LC receive the German wound badges -- at Doberitz when they were presented their Spanish Crosses? I'd love to see a pre-Sep '39 photo of a LC vet wearing a LC/Type 1/New Form wound badge. -
Early (Condor Legion?) Silver Wound Badge
Scott replied to Hauptmann's topic in State, Civil Awards & Decorations
Isn't "Condor Legion" - as it relates to wound badges - a misnomer? I thought most Germans wounded in the Spanish Civil War were received the Spanish injury/prisoner medal, and families of those that were killed were presented the Spanish Cross for next of kin. -
I saw one priced for $395 at the 2010 SOS Two tables over I bought one for $35.

Indeed Francisco -- Flying Tiger is where I saw them just last week. Yes, they were more than I would pay for such an item. I thought they looked a bit crude, but your handcraft explanation would fit here. Many thanks.
