dedehansen Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Pierce, this typ was originally issued for the Spanish Civil War, but I´ve seen one with an engraving from 1942 on the back. I think they have made more from them as needed in the SCW so thus were awarded in WW 2 too Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
