A Spanish Cross in Gold.
A very good-quality example, retaining most original factory finish. It would appear that this grade was not actually awarded, but examples regularly appear on ‘souvenir boards’ brought home by Allied servicemen after May 1945. This would seem to indicate that this grade was produced for issue, but not awarded. Maker’s stamp ‘B and N L’ [Berg and Nolte, Ludenscheid]. Wide tapering pin, with some very slight wear along the points of the Cross and on the pin, good very fine £800-£1,000

This lot was sold as part of a special collection, A Fine Collection of German Second World War Combat Awards.
