Description
Beautiful early example of the 1939 Pattern “Legion Condor” Wound Badge in Silver w/Case and Stickpin. The stickpin typically not found with the award is included, the badge is uncleaned and undamaged. The box is still solid and undamaged, this is a fantastic set that displays wonderfully.
Note – The Condor Legion who fought in Spain in 1936-1939 did not have a wound badge, or any other award during the conflict. Upon their return to Germany after the victory of the forces guided by Gen. Franco, however, Condor Legion, or Spanish Wound Badge, was established on May 22, 1939. Its regulation stated that it was created……“in recognition to German Volunteers who had received wounds on action in the fight again Bolshevism during the 1936-1939 Spanish War of Liberation.”
