My collection of Kriegsmarine Campaign Shields and Cufftitles

[Jody]

Hello folks,
As you know I am a Kriegsmarine collector. Here is a small collection I have put together of campaign shields and cufftitles that could have been earned by members of the Kriegsmarine. As far as shields are concerned there are only three types of shields that could have been awarded to members of the Kriegsmarine.

Regards,
Jody

First off the KRETA cufftitle, many photos show KM members wearing this white version (I still want the KM one).

The NARVIK shield. This is an early tombak example by C.E. Juncker Berlin.

Here is the KRIM Shield in tombak on KM backing material by J.C. Maedicke.

KM Shields

Last but not least the KUBAN Shield. This is the only other shield that could have been earned by members of the Kriegsmarine. This shield is a zinc example by Karl Wuerster. Many will comment that the shield is on black material and not dark blue. The color of this cloth is identical to the color of the cloth for use on my NARVIK shield. Many KM items are backed in black material too (or the dark blue is so dark that it looks black).

This shield is hallmarked too. However I am not about to take a picture of it. For more information of this type of shield and the maker please check out this link: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/FORU...d.php?t=424324
