HISTORY. With the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, Germany sent the Condor Legion to give military aid to Francisco Franco's Nationalist forces. On 14 April 1939, Germany instituted the Spanish Cross as a decoration for the German soldiers that fought in the Spanish Civil War. The Spanish Cross was to be worn on the right breast below the pocket flap or, if awarded, below the Blood Order. After the death of the recipient, the award remains with the next-of-kin.

Although it is not stamped 835 or 900 silver, it certainly has the “look”. Reverse center stamped “CEJ” for C.E. Juncker. Case is the appropriate LDO issue case. MINT.
