Carlos, I would try to post some better shots of yours. The one on the link is a lousy shot without any decernable detail which causes more concern than interest. Looking at the other thread I guess these 'were' made by Spain but you should try to get a few detailed shot up.

As for value, the other thread (von Stubben stated of the one he saw) "sold the Order of the German Eagle for a hefty sum to another person I know, who based his offer on what the German made medal is valued in the "Forman's Guide". " For me, the German made ones are a piece of art whereas the Spanish one don't have nearly the 'jewelry' appeal. Not sure I would go half the value of a German made piece but that's just me.

Sidebar: I note yours & Bob Hritz's have the same eagle head configuration. Did any of the German makers have a head shaped like this?

i've tried to post New pics but can't due to the server problem the site is expieriancing when it gets fixed i'll post new pics,but mine is identical to the one in the post by bob hirtz, i think that the head style "the teradactyle" as i like to call it is only on the spanish made ones.
Thanks carlos

First of all, the spanish made Eagle Orders are allways quite less than the half price of a german one. Maybe 35%, and no much demand of these does exist, even in Spain.
About Alex´s question... I think your cross is not a made in Spain one.

Yes, you can not compare the investment as a jeweler like Godet did in the times of abundance during the Third Reich with the difficult situation facing Spain after our Civil War. Even in Godet´s you can see how the quality goes down as difficult years come. In Spain we had many examples of jewelers making decorations the finest like any other in any country...

And as Gregorio said, the price is the point.
