      Hallo Chaps, any ideas? I find the name stamped to the lower arm rear and the pin stamping to seem very modern for a 1870 piece? Seller is claiming it to be an old copy (as in replacement) piece. If a fake any idea when they were first encountered?? Kevin in Deva

      Gentlemen Is it a good idea to open a thread thats going to feature a lot of medals from all over the globe? in no particular sequence? or is better to add these awards to the threads already opened for the posting of specific countries awards?? just a thought. Kevin in Deva.

      I believe some of the Islanders were part of the Falkland Islands "Reserve" Force similar, if not the same as the T.A. I do remember seeing fil footage showing them using tractors and trailers to move supplies to the Front, and returning with wounded both Argentinian and British back to the rear. Kevin in Deva.

      Hi Chris, sorry but,dosent sound like any Spanish item I have ever read about, all I can suggest is your friend gets a picture of the item and you post it here. Nor have I ever seen such a badge pictured on any German uniform of Condor Legion members. Kevin in Deva

      I seem to recall a medal with a red X on the ribbon, now hopefully to find a picture. One book I have refers to: the "Medal of Suffering for the Country" (wounded by enemy fire) as being worn by Spanish troops, I think this was from thr Spanish Civil War era and was probably issued to Spanish troops of the "Blue Division" in Russia. I have never heard of it being worn by Germans though!! Kevin in Deva

      Hallo Gents here we have the double pronged pin type, I believe it to be an original. But for clarity can anybody comment on the Hanburg 3 instead of the usually seen Hamburg 11.? Close up of the front, notice how the right hand sword handle has been bent. Kevin in Deva
