Cruz roja del Merito Militar

Medalla de la campa?a

Commemorative medal for the spanish volunteers of the Azul Division

Pilot wings

I don't the others

It is a Azul Division member grouping; he participated to the spanish civil war and then to the campaign against Russia.

I thought the pilot wings had the propeller, and pilot/observer had the propeller and the star, which would lead me to believe observer wings has the star only, no?

[greg koepp]

OH ya I think your right! I was wondering why it had just a star too??

anyone know what these sell for?? just for my records..

thanks greg

The wings are neither pilot, pilot/observer, nor obsever. I don't know what they are, though.

The Spanish section of that website is a pile of crap.

The wings posted above are 1946-1975 era Spanish observer wings.

The eagle on yoke-and-arrows and the cross on red-yellow-red ribbons are IMHO fantasy items. The other items seem to be genuine AFAIK

IMHO there are no connections between those items... just a "made up" "veteran group".

Thanks, but the yoke-arrows Pin I have photos in one of my books of the same, the Eagle on it I have no problems with as I have shown to a couple Spanish collectors who said it was ok. But the cross on the ribbon, I don't know yet, but will send photos to more Spanish collectors to see. The cross itself is made correct, but for what I don't know yet??

thanks for the info.

So, you say the Spanish section of the website I referenced shows inaccurate WWII era wings? I disagree.

[greg koepp]

I didn't say anything about the wings??

I said the Arrow with eagle, is in books showing they made these in medal, and the cross with ribbon is the other item I talked about, nothing about the wings tho?

thanks and please re-read

No, No. I was refering to Panzerpionier stating the website referencing WW 2 era wings was "crap" with respect to its Spanish section. The wings shown on that site are spot on.

Wings are OK. Texts are wrong.
