Hi,

I found this KC and DKiS along with Two Spanish crosses in Toledo’s Alcazar in Spain... what do you think? No recipient name on display...

Difficult to say for sure but both Spanish Crosses look good to me.

I like them also.

Thanks for reply. The first picture seems to be from a group from Blue Division. And KC looks like it has been painted when I see it on museum but on picture you can also notice it...

I am 99,9 % sure that the RK is a genuine Juncker.

You have a good eye... when I seen on the museum I thought it was looking at the loop but I was not sure and I have to time to compare with other crosses. Also the painted ribs confused me

thanks for your help

I can not comment on the originality of the RK.. but for sure it doesn't belong to any Blue Division grouping.
There were given just 2 RKs to Spaniards, one of them with oakleaves.
Esteban Infantes' RK is to my knowledge still in his family possession. I can ask his grandson, but I am pretty sure of that.
Muñoz Grandes' RK with oakleaves whereabouts is a mistery to me.. some say it remains with his family, others say it was sold to a US collector some decades ago..
But anyway, none of them are in the Museum of the Army in Toledo(which by the way, "lost" incredible items during its moving from Madrid to its current location and which has some fakes on display)
