Spanienkreuz für Hinterbliebene. Real or Fake??

[Fatmanupnorth]

I recently bought a medal which I believe is a genuine Spanish Honour Cross, Next of Kin award.

It is roughly 41mm across and weighs around 12gm. Is this the norm??

All the photos I am seeing online, show the small swastikas as a solid from behind, whereas mine has cut outs.
Is this something I should be worried about?

I have seen a thread on here, where there is one still cased, and that has the cut out swastikas but it's the only example other than mine that does. I have linked a video below.


Hopefully someone can help me with this.....

Thank You

Fatman.

Hi there Fatman.

I have changed the title of your thread.

The Use of German Terminology.

I have uploaded your photos because we don't allow outside image hosting because the pictures disappear after a certain period leaving empty threads which makes them useless for future reference. The link below is a handy visual guide on how to upload your photos.

I hope you get good news on the award!

Kind regards,

Will.
