Hi Aldo
Here are some of my other few Spanish Stuff:
Divíson española de voluntarios en rusia, Divíson española de voluntarios en rusia/ Blue Division Medal/ 250th Infantry Division

Spanish Army motorcycle dispatch rider's helmet WWII, Italian created Model 1935 tanker helmet, was produced in large numbers and used as a pattern for the Spanish version throughout the Second World War. These Spanish helmets were also used by the German Legion Condor in the Spanish Civil War, ca. 1936-1939

Guadia Civil, postwar/ contemporary

Last time I forgot one part of my best spanish collection:



Al Merito En Campaña, medal
This is the correct early pattern specific to the Spanish Civil war as awarded to the Legion Condor, with a more "pointed " aspect to the outline shape. The later style with a more "rounded" appearance was for the Spanish Blue Division (Division Azul) serving on the Eastern Front

"PLUS ULTRA

Hi! even if I posted this buckle in another thread, I think it deserves to be posted here as I dont saw it in this 'Spanish Buckles' thread, hope you agree. This is a Geographic/Topographic service officer Buckle from Franco's period, it comes with a cased victory band with the 36-39 device and an enameled Geographic/Topographic little badge on it (by maker Castells).

Best regards
