SS service awards question

[reichenberg]

Were the SS long service awards produced in Spain for veterans? I found one described as such but I'm not sure that this is correct.

As far as I know no SS award were ever made in Spain after the war. This medal is simply fake.

Sounds like a fairy story to justify a crude fake.

Agreed!

Thought so. It was just that I know of course that Spain produced some Third Reich awards for veterans long after the end of the war, but I couldn't imagine that would include SS awards. I have never seen a fake exactly like it being made in zinc with the bronze finish having been lost just like a late war German medal. I believe these SS awards were never produced in zinc even in Germany.
