    Fascist era (?) cross the chest belt badges

    Greetings!

    I hope you all survived the last year and 4 months.

    Question: are these Franco era badges, time period, and does anyone have pictures of them being worn?

    I'm pretty sure the Artillery buckle is Alphonso XIII period.

    Thank you.

    According to a Spanish website that sells replica badges the oval one with the St. Johns Eagle is:

    Medida: 6 x 4,20 cms. aprox. Sin imperdible. Placa del Cuerpo de Investigación periodo 1938-1942. Franco reorganizó este organismo y le incorporó el águila de San Juan. Posteriormente, le daría el nombre de Cuerpo General de Policía a partir del 1942.

     

    Which, according to google translate, means:

    1938 SPANISH SECURITY AND INVESTIGATION BADGE

    Measure: 6 x 4.20 cms. approx. Without safety pin. Plate of the Investigation Corps period 1938-1942. Franco reorganized this body and incorporated the San Juan Eagle. Later, he would give it the name of the General Police Corps as of 1942

     

    They sell reproductions for 36.00 euros each or $ 42.79 USD.

    POLICE GENERAL CORPS PLATE 1942 . Plaque of the extinct general police force period 1942 - 1954, Franco period. Observe the eagle of San Juan, and read the legends "A great free" and "General Directorate of Security".

    Measure: 5 x 4 cms. High quality metal. Flat without safety pin.

     

    • This is the 1942 version dating mine from between 1939-1942.

    Boris,
    Muchas gracias por la información sobre mi hebilla.
    ¿Considerarías que esta es una hebilla difícil de encontrar?
    ¿Es deseable para los coleccionistas en España?
    ¡Mantenerse sano!
    Seth
