          The first two are Spanish Volunteer medals who fought against bolshevism in Russia and the other two are army 25 year long service medals.

              Hi Andy, the two Spanish medals are interesting, as the left one is not voided like the one on the right. The one with the voided areas I would consider the conventional one.

              These have been discussed on the forum in years past. I have done a search (20 pages on the word "Spanish" ) but I cannot find any of these old threads, so they must have gone.

              Here is the only thread I could find and it feature a good one:

              There are older versions, newer made versions and out and out fakes of these. If I recall correctly Seba might own one?

              Sorry I cannot help more.

              Cheers, Ade.

                Hi Andy,

                I like the 25 year on the right (prefer it out of the two) from I can see but in all honesty a better pic of the middles front and back would help. They're faked if you hadn't guessed the probabilty of that bugger.

                The eagle device denoted branch of service, this one would be army or navy the airfoce had an eagle with it's wing's 'flapping' you might say


                The 25 year service cross on the left, well it lacks detail in the arms and looks crappy...my guess would be thats naughty. These medals represent a high standard normaly...that ones no where near.

                I'm not to conversant with these long service medals, I hope some of the other guy's will take a look too.

                  and the one on the right hand-side looks like a copy to me.

                    Hi Andy, i agree with marcus on the 25 year long service awards. The award on the right looks a good original (close up of eagle would be good). The one on the left lacks the detail in the arms, has a too uniformed colouration and the eagle does not appear right ( although to my knowledge quality in eagle design did vary) Ribbon loop looks a little large. Closer pics of both eagles would help. But the left one does not look good . All the best.

                      Hi Andy......

                      ......I too remember the thread from awhile ago about the Spanish decoration you are inquiring about. Take a look at the images in the link to the following thread. I hope they are of some help to you.
