    Spanish Cross Next of Kin

    It's been a long time coming but at last I've got my hands on one of these. I know how hard they are to get especially with a case. According to Stephen Wolfe this one will be pictured in Adrian Forman's new book due out in late July.
    An exceptional piece IMO. Only 315 awarded.

    Regards,
    AB.

                      Wow...that's really something! I've never even seen a case for one of these. Congrats!

                        You are a lucky fellow! Both the case and the award are in wonderful condition, not to mention damn rare. Congrats.

                          Thanks Robert and norwest.
                          Some say that the case is much harder to find than the Cross.

                            Thank you, Andrew. The rarity of this case cannot be overstated. I have never had the opportunity to own one and it is one of those rare treasures that is always a pleasure to see. Sadly, one sees them so rarely.

                              Congratulations, that is a great cross!

                              Please note the mythical "down tail" eagle on the cover of the case.
