Default Red Cross badge

Hi All
I just got this small Red Cross badge, about 15mm across. It was listed as a Spanish-American war US Army medic badge. Any chance that it is? It looks like it may be silver.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,
It is German Red cross - possibly WWII and later - and was attached to the grey collar tabs

This is Not American Spanish War. The American medical badges at that time was a silver geneva cross with 4 wire prongs on each of the limbs of the cross.

Hi Steven
Great, thanks for the info, I definitely had my doubts that it was Spanish-American War
Whether WWII or later, it is definitely a quality piece.
Cheers,
Alex
