Guest Darrell Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Here are the set I have so far .... maybe one day that $$$ Cholm is in my future? (P.S. the Lappshield is 1957) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I like the campaign shields too, but try to restrict myself to those with a Naval connection (Narvik, Krim, Kuban), especially if I can find evidence of them being worn by U-Boat crews (i.e. many U-Boat crewmen were ex-Destroyer crews whose boats were sunk at Narvik and thus wore the Narvik Shield)Actually, Demjansk is just about the only one with zero Naval connection. There was a Naval transport unit at Cholm so even that one could legitimately be found on blue backing though I've never heard of one - these guys would normally have worn field grey uniform anyway, but may have had a set of "best blues" uniform for dress occasions.My KM Narvik is a nice early, used piece in tombak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Blue back?ngcloth on a silver Narvik?←Yes, blue cloth backing on a silver shild. I got it like that . I can't explain it, may be for a blue jacket, the guy changed of service. the backing seems very done for a post-war adding.On the attached pic, 4 of them seem to wear blue backing cloth.jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
