Cased Spanish Cross in Gold with Swords

A Minty Spanien-Kreuz in Gold mit Schwertern by C. E. Juncker. This is hands down the best Spanish cross I’ve owned and seen in my lifetime. The Gold Spanish Cross with Swords award criteria was restricted to those who not only engaged the enemy, but had also excelled in the form of personal bravery or achievement. Only 1126 gold crosses were awarded. It is a multi-piece construction made out of a die struck “900” silver content base that has been gold fire gilded with polished highlights and was finished in a protective lacquer coating. The obverse depicts a convex pebbled Maltese style cross with two crossed broad swords and four Luftwaffe eagles to each corner, that has an encircled (separately soldered on) mobile swastika to the center. The full back concave reverse is marked “900”. It also has a soldered on c-shaped catch, soldered on block hinge and coke bottle pin, all of which are in well working condition. The detail and gold highlights are superb! It measures approximately 2 3/16 inches wide and tall. The award comes housed in its appropriate extremely rare minty case. It is constructed out of a wood and pressed cardboard base that is covered in a simulated grained red leather. To the very top is a gold exterior thin line border. To the front is a multi-piece tombak, rectangular spring loaded closure button. To the back is a steel, staggered, piano hinge that is covered in the simulated leather. The interior-bottom of the case is constructed out of a pressed cardboard base that is covered in a thick red fibrous felt material that outlines the pin, hinge and catch assembly. The interior top is constructed out of a pearl silk material and has an underlying pad. It has the odd mark but is in wonderful condition! The case measures approximately 3 inches wide by 3 1/8 inches deep and 1 inch thick. A Pre-LDO C.E. Juncker. Stunning!
