Opinion on spanish cross bronze w/o swords

[Monsun]

Hello,

today someone offers me this spanish cross in bronze w/o swords.

But it looks like there where some swords cut! Is it possible that this was done in the factory to made SC w/o swords from

an SC with swords? Please look at the detailphotos.

What do you think, is it an early awarded one? What manufacturer?

Any opinions are welcome!

Regards,

Monsun

Thank you Jacques,

and sorry, but I have seen your posting about the "cut of swords" in this forum to late.

The weight of this SC is 26,4 Gramm, are these early awarded pieces?

Hi,

The cross marked CEJ are the first manufactured and awarded. This one is unmarked but is of very good quality and not marked L/12. So I guess they were manufactured around 1940, and in 1941 stamped L/12. May be your is 40-41. That is just a pure supposition, and add no value to the cross.
