Espana Enameled Stickpin?

[Scott C.]

Has anyone seen an Espana stick pin like this? Is it a modern creation/fabrication or an authentic pin from the late 30s?

Thanks.

Our pins are exact twins. Steve Wolfe sold me this pin several years ago along with the Spanish pilot wings (as worn by Luftwaffe "volunteers") and the 2 cloth badges on either side of the Sp. Crosses in my photo. I am not certain however as to when or where this pin would have been worn.

It's listed in Hüsken as a Blue Division badge (U4 03a) "Abzeichen für ehemalige spanische Angehörige." Which roughly translates as "Badge for former Spanish member"

Cheers

I'm no expert, but the arrow feathers on this one are not right. The one pictured on page 261 of Andre Huskens book shows the correct feather configuration.
