Thought I'd post up these Binoculars I picked up today...Optically perfect and in great condition. peter http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2009/post-3147-1234908899.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2009/post-3147-1234908937.jpg[att achment=152588:U4__600_x_450_.jpg]
The die flaws on the original shields are present on your one....nice shield..... . If possible could you post scans of the shield and the cloth. Also the reverse of the shield as well... Peter BTW how can you own a lovely shield like this one and not know whether it's a fake or not..... :lol:
Possible...or it's an original that's been polished up. As I say, very difficult to tell with these pics. Nes....with your permission, I'll start a thread on another forum and we'll see what the verdict is over there. Problem is, unless the shield is posted like this one below, it's a tough one to call. Gut reaction is, it's a copy.....
I think it would help if we could see a decent scan of the shield without the glare. The shield in the link I pasted may not be the same as your's. Peter
Hi Nesredep......Pics aren't great but I'm assuming it's the same as this type in the link. The J in 'KRYMSKAJA' tend to give this one away but if possible post better head on scans. KR......Peter http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...ht=Kuban+shield
Nice shield...nothing wrong with that one. I should get my long awaited Tombak version of your shield in the next couple of days. I'll post it when it lands. Peter
Very soft detail on the shield. I've seen this type in solid brass which didn't exist.This looks to be that type. Maybe Nesredep could tell us what the shield's made from. Best......Peter
Great Photo's Nesderep...... Here's the KM shield Peter linked on the WAF site. These shields are getting more difficult to find these days. Best......Peter
