Cruz del Mérito Militar - Cross of Military Merit

[milanche]

Hello,

For some time now, I want to buy some Civil and WWII Spanish medals and decoration but I never found a good guide about "Spanish iron cross".
There is an excellent thread about Spanish Civil war ('Egana') medal which could be found very easily through site's search engine.
Could some expert on Spanish awards help me and make a good retrospective of this medal?
I need information and possibly pictures of Cruz Rojo from 1864 when the order was instituted and from years 1931,1936, 1942, 1970 and 1977 when appearance of the cross (and crown) went through changes.

Thanks in advance and muchos gracias

Hello, I send the links of a website specializing in Spanish medals, particularly since the links you referred to the Order of Military Merit.

In the last link shows several pins gala in which there are several "Egana".

If you need more information tell me and send you more.

Greetings from Madrid.

Julio.
