Spanish Cross in Silver

[MilitaryAntique]

Hi all,

We would need some help........

Is this a restored original or ?

Thanks

Yes, I would say so.

Hinge, pin, and catch have obviously been replaced.

MAS,

I would agree, based on the supplied photos, that it appears to be a repaired Juncker SC. Eagles & small swastikas, center swastika appear to match IMO.

Can you provide a good clear close up of the reverse center with the pin out of the way? Not sure if the hallmarks have been removed or not but perhaps we can see if something was there originally. How about a nice edge shot as well?

additional pic.

Looks to be 900 marked.

Thanks for all comments so far!

Hello there,

in the piece is the manufacturer Meybauer! Quite typical to see on the back and the sword handles.
Good to see the error in the left hilt of Meybauer.

The back looks very different when Juncker. That's not as smooth with the silver pieces.

It does appear to have a faint 900 mark, but photos of the reverse show what looks like a tombac or brass core (?).

MAS,

Thank you for the additional PIC's, I thought I might have seen a remnant of the 900.


LC,

I was under the impression, looking at the repair, that the reverse hardware had been replaced, hence the reason for the repair and those file marks.

Yes, the current hardware is not typical of Juncker. Not sure what you are referring to on the left sword hilt?

Here's one of mine and comparing eagles a bit closer, perhaps this one is not a Juncker piece but I was under the impression that only Juncker had this sloping center between the swastika arms.

I admit, I have not looked at SC for quite a long time.

Scott,

Yes, that is interesting isn't it?

Hello there,

the hilts of Meybauer are not as wide as Juncker.

I'm going back later adjust images with the typical feature of the hilt.

I see even a direct comparison of Juncker and Meybauer.

Interesting Meybauer. Would love to know its history.
