Pascal H Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I agree a magnificent grouping .Very interesting to pinpoint this shield back as to a very early shield.Not very clear on these pictures but I assume this shield is made from CupAl?KRPascal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hi,I have a denazified one he wore at the end of 1945, beginning 46, it has no backing plate or cloth, so it may be easier to tell. They do have a bit of corrosion so I always thought zink? But that is just a wild guess.Will try and find the other one today sometime.bestChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Great thread - I've learned much. Funny that the "Small 4" fake is noted for having the 4 smaller than the 0. This is the norm for most standard fonts/type faces... round/rounded characters (letters and numbers) are usually a bit taller than angular characters. It's a trick of the eye - if all characters were exactly the same height, the round/rounded characters would appear to the eye to be a bit smaller.

Erik Krogh Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hello!I wonder why the propeller is so big on left Narvik shields.All the best NesredepGood question, Nesredep. I am no shield expert, but I believe that the shield on the left is cupal. I had posted this shield on WAF requesting comments, and the few that I received were generally positive regarding authenticity. However, I don't have much more information on the shield.Best Regards,Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
