This is a truly very attractive - just moderately worn but with certainty rarely encountered! - so-called: 'Spanienkreuz mit Schwerten in Silber' (or: Spanish cross in silver with swords) being a clearly maker- (ie. '900'-) marked and early-period, high-quality-produced(!) example that was produced by a to date still unidentified maker (ie. 'Hersteller' and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit just moderately used- and/or worn-), condition. The very attractive and truly very detailed award - which comes mounted onto its functional (silver-coloured- and typical 'flute-shaped'-) pin and/or (also typical) catch (-set-up) - is a highly-detailed, silver-coloured- and/or pronounced (and genuine silver-based!) specimen: it shows a so-called: '900'-silver content-marking (as can be seen on the pictures). The award truly retains all of its silver-toned (ie. somewhat darkened- ie. tarnished) silver-toned finish and was (I deem) only moderately worn (the piece was most certainly never cleaned nor polished). Of interest is, moreover, that the four tiny (and very detailed!) eagle-devices are separately inserted into the cross (as to be expected). There is a concensus in the collectors'-community that these high-quality and early-period examples were produced by the famous (and desirable!) 'Godet'-company as was based in the town of Berlin. The piece was recently found at a private-household in Germany and came as issued and/or stored for decades. I have seen similar examples by this particular maker sell for much more than my asking-price. Simply a very attractive example of this rarely encountered and/or very decorative award: I deem that I have priced it according to its unmistaken desirability and rarity!
