A SpanienKreuz in Bronze mit Schwerten of Berg & Nolte Lüdenscheid

[Meme32]

Dear Members of the forum,

I am in love with this beautiful SpanienKreuz in Bronze mit Schwerten.
It is marked B&N L on the back.

I have read somewhere that B&N L never manufactured Spanish Cross during the war ?.....other people claimed they did...

Personally I like it.

What do you think about this order ?


Many thanks for your kind support.

My only reference book on this (Previttera) does not list B&L as a maker. That's about as much as I can contribute.

The problem with these B&N produced crosses is that there does not seem to be any evidence to prove or disprove the existence of these badges made by Berg & Nolte during the TR period (yet). These don't come cheap so if you had to part with it in the future you may have a problem imo ,Regards Paul

Here is one, made from real silver, that I was recently looking at. Take a look at this one and compare to yours.

I can't see much fault with it other than it looks a little rough with little to no age/patina.

Todds example shows much finer finishing and the details are fine and crisp and more pleasing to the eye.

Here are my bronze example to compare to as well.

As far as I know, B&N L did not make Spanish crosses.
