kunsho Posted February 6, 2006 Posted February 6, 2006 Here is the SC Gold of G?nter Wagner (for a photograph of Fw. Wagner look at "My Legion Condor&SC traeger photo collection").Matthias
kunsho Posted February 6, 2006 Author Posted February 6, 2006 ...look at the significant detail of the swordgrip....specific tool mark (all "900" pieces)...
kunsho Posted February 6, 2006 Author Posted February 6, 2006 ...now I attach the photo of G?nter Wagner nevertheless again (all information about him is welcome).
Bob Hunter Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 That is a spectacular example of a gold SC!
Scott Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) A fantastic cross!! And a great period photo that throws all the 'rules' out the window: post-Sep 39 and wearing a pilot badge, yet he's still got his 1st model dagger and he's still wearing the un-rated aircrew badge on his sleeve! (not to mention the unconventional placement of his DRL sports badge) It's also interesting that he earned the SC in gold and the Spanish War Cross/star, but only earned the SCW campaign medal, and not the Military Service Cross nor the Military Medal...Scott Edited February 7, 2006 by Scott
Stogieman Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Great photograph and I agree with Scott... his wearing is breaking more than a few regs!
kunsho Posted February 7, 2006 Author Posted February 7, 2006 Oh, thanks a lot ! ..and thanks to Jacques. He encouraged me to post this one...As an "addition" the medal bar shown on the photo:

Jacques Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 ...look at the significant detail of the swordgrip....specific tool mark (all "900" pieces)...I found the same detail on one of mine.jacques

spectre Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) Hi Matthias, I found a little info on your man, he was assigned to 2.K/88 in February of '39 though he had been in Spain since Nov. 1938. There was a Uffzs Gunther Wagner assigned to 3.K/88 in November 1938. Probably the same guy, just a typo in the name in the book, the dates match up and sound right.Great stuff, do you have any of his docs with all this?Alan Edited April 10, 2007 by spectre
Jacques Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Here is a picture of my crosses. the two on top are from the same cross.
Jacques Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Here is a picture of my crosses. the two on top are from the same cross.the flaw seems to be present on all the three cross, raising more or less.

Unfortunately only the medals (and a few photos with no helpful inscription) were left (the documents possibly were thrown away as the household of G?nther Wagner were dissolved)...ALL ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS WELCOME Hey Jacques,Nice and really (!) impressive collection !!! Best regards Matthias
