The Spanish produced awards were made for numerous years after the war as the swastika was not an illegal design in Spain. So date is difficult to judge and for me such awards carry far less value than the German produced examples. Unless you specifically want a Spanish version and/or the price is cheap, I would pass.

Ok Glenn, understood, appreciate your comments, what in your opinion would be an ok price for a German and a Spanish version, if I may ask?

If you are not very familiar with such medals, think that solder ball shape, are of Spanish manufacture
