Phil Steele Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Jus thought I would post a picture of my latest Krim Shield. After returning two reproduction Krims this marked JFS 42 is the first replacement to arrive with a second Deumer still en route. Unlike previous purchases this time I did my homework through the workings of Sascha Webers great book on the Krim shield and hopefully my efforts paid off. I cant fault it which is why I am posting it for others with more knowledge than me to adjudicate. Sorry about the quality of the pictures as I am using a scanner and no its not an epsom. Look forward to seeing a few responses. Phil Reverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Steele Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Hey Tim, Will do but I really must learn how to take such wonderful photos. You and Peter have it down pat. All the best mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Steele Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Just remembered I have managed to get hold of a Krim which Weber refers to as the Souval type. Only just ordered it but here are the pictures captured from the dealer (I hope they dont mind but I have paid for it). I was very pleased to find this beauty now all I have to do is somehow think of a way of hiding the credit card statement before the wife sees it but then I am sure all us collectors have had to do this on occasions.

Peter BL Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Phil, that JFS is damn near mint. Look at the burnishing still present. Both very nice shields... KR...Peter Edited January 16, 2010 by Peter Baillie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Steele Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Thankyou to you both for comments and that scanner of yours Pete really does a great job...will have to look into one. Mine will only focus on whatever is touching the glass. In otherwords the item must be flat like a piece of paper or photo. Maybe I should read the manual and see if I can adjust something or rather to do a better job. Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim B Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Hey Phil, Nice couple of shields! As for this comment:"I was very pleased to find this beauty now all I have to do is somehow think of a way of hiding the credit card statement before the wife sees it but then I am sure all us collectors have had to do this on occasions." Ah, no, whatever are you talking about? On the scanner issue; you might try to cover the top with a dark colored fabric that keeps the light leaks out and scan without using the actual cover. That might help get the details a bit better. I use an old camera and eventually will need to upgrade as it's only got 3.2 mexapixels. All comes down to lighting and macro focusing.

Phil Steele Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Thanks for the tips Tim and I will certainly try that....as for the other would you believe collecting this stuff has already cost me one marriage. Yes I am not lying but what can I say..thank god for collecting TR items, best thing that has ever happened to me. Cheers Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
