Juncker Spanisg Cross, good or bad ?

[patrice]

Gentlemen,

I would like to purchase this Spanish Cross in Silver but I cannot tell if it is original or not.
I've looked in my reference book, "Combat Badges of the Third Reich" by Stephen Previtera and I still cannot tell its authenticity.
I'm mostly an edged collector and do not know much about badges.

These are not the best of pics but that's all I got.

Thank you !

I guess the Previtera book isn't up to much then! Glad I didn't fork out for it.

The cross is fake.

Thank you Mr. Gordon for your quick reply, much appreciated.

Best regards,

Cross is a fake as noted, but I'd disagree with Richard on the reference book as pages 474-475 clearly show what a genuine SC in sivler w/swords by CEJ should look like. It's a great book, overall.

I agree. The best book I have come across in some time.

IMO not original!
