EXTREMELLY RARE original
SPANISH CIVIL WAR CROSS, AWARDED TO GERMAN SOLDIER in LEGION CONDOR
Up for auction is a beautiful, 100% original Spanish War Cross awarded to Uffl.
Richard Link on June 18, 1937 for participation in combat to support Nationalist
Falangist Generalissimo Francisco Franco against the communist allied Republican
Loyalist Party (Legion Condor). The award is in perfect condition. It measures
roughly 2" and 3/4" inches in diameter, is multi-pieced and slightly convexed,
die-struck alloy construction, fire gilded nickel silver plated with red ,white
and blue enamel work. This is a very rare award given to German soldiers . The
back reads : "Fur kampf in Spanien" with recipients name (Richard Link) and date
of award presentation. The enamel work is perfect as is the pin and catch
assembly and all prong attachments. A rare German breast award that would
compliment any German collection. Many of these award recipients went on to earn
prestigious awards such as the Knights Cross and would be worth researching this
soldier. During last 5 years I saw a few the same orders. But never seen
engraved version.
