Here’s your chance to pick up a Spanish Cross in gold with swords. This one has seen better days and has lost most of its gold finish. This particular cross is marked L/13 on the reverse for Paul Meybauer in tombak. A must have addition for any serious Third Reich collector!This piece is a consignment item and is subject to the terms listed on the website. Guaranteed original. The Spanish Cross (Spanienkreuz) was instituted on April 14th, 1939, to recognize those German Forces who served in the Spanish Civil War (July 1936- March 1939). The “Condor Legion” who fought on the side of General Franco against communism in Spain was composed, at least publicly, of volunteers. Because of their semi-official status no awards were instituted prior to or during the war, and therefore there was no method to recognize German bravery and accomplishment until 1939. The purpose of the Spanish Cross therefore was two fold; It was not only to be a campaign medal, but also an award recognizing achievements.
