Hi Henrik

the medal is authenticated and wartime, known as the "Guzman model" and their manufacturers is Diez and company.

The box does not correspond with this Medal, that box is the Spanish civil war, campaign medal its manufacturer was effectively Egaña, but Egaña not rankled medals of the Blue Division.

A distinctive feature is that this slightly offset to the left the Crown at the rear.

Model medal genuine 100% wartime.

The box is authenticated, but corresponds with another medal.

Greetings from Madrid.

Julio.

Thank you Julio :-)

We don't see these much here. And thank you for the lesson, nice to know what to look for.

How much do they sell for?

Regards Henrik
