HI,
I know that this particular medal is not from ww2 period.
It comes with a modern ribbon tha glows under the black light.
What i would like to know is if it's a modern replacement made/issued by the spanish government to veterans or a fake medal to suply the market???

Good to know that it is not a fake or copy.
Is it possible to stablish the period of production??
Its from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s???)

There are many versions.
This one, im pretty sure, is post war.
I would like to know from which decade/period.

I see very poor stamping and detail even for a post war piece....

This is the original Diez & Cia from my collection.
I think that it is the same...

Thanks Guripa250,
I've noticed that the writing on the reverse is not as sharp as yours (Rusia 1941). So, in your opinion it is a original example?
Can you establish the manufacturing date by its caracteristics (50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, etc...)???

I see a lot of diferences form one to the other, and its not just the patina, and the fact that maybe the ribbon is facke I would pass on this one and wait for one which all the characteristics match....



also chech the wing tips..I see a lot of diference...

Dont know if the Diez mold changed form war year sto post war, I do believe the materials did, so far the poor quality of the medal in question I would pass

Thanks Spanish Freiwillige,

I also observed the lack of details.
