M-009 Scarce Spanish Cross in Silver with Swords,
Marked “900” on the Reverse
This specific example of the award was given to combatants, as it is
complete with swords. It is beautifully tapered to better fit on the breast
pocket when it was worn. The silver has toned just slightly, giving the badge a
very handsome look. There is some minor wear (from use) seen on the highlights.
The basic cross is in the form of a Maltese Cross, with a swastika standing on
its point in the center within two circles. A Luftwaffe eagle is in between each
arm of the cross, bisected by an upright broadsword. The rear has a slightly
tapered, flat pin, vertically mounted with a rugged, cast hinge and a hefty,
“C” shaped catch soldered directly to the badge. This private purchase
example is stamped “900”, indicating it is produced in high-quality 900
silver. An excellent example of a scarce badge that is missing from many
collections!
