unless it is dated there is no way to tell what period it was from.. The Falange was until recently [?] and/or still is a political force [?]

I believe that is a pin for the Spanish Blue Division. The Germans designated it as the 250th Infantry Division while it served on the Eastern Front. An Internet search for "Spanish Blue Division" displays both the pin and the associated uniform patch.

also do a search on Falangism.... They were still in 'business' in the late 70s with the exact emblem!
I was in Barcelona 10 yrs or so and these exact pins , rings , cufflinks were for sale at most the gift shops/street vendors there....
The piece would have to have some sort of date or provenance , maybe a match up with the pin with another known WW2 era piece etc. to prove it was WWII era...
The WW2 armshield , emblem was like this with Espana at top.. One of the more hard to find arm shields of WW2...
