Hello
Here’s a new addition to the collection.
It wasn’t really on my wish list but I had to take it because otherwise I couldn’t buy another shield that I’ll present later.
I know the history of a Lappland shield is much debated and discussed. Maybe this isn’t even a real 57 award given the fact there isn’t an example listed in the official law (Ordensjournal 16/01/1957) . However there is an example in the sales catalogue of Friedrich Sedlatzek (check this link: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=391614).
Every discussion aside, here's the shield. The overall detail is rather weak (eagle head for example) but if you look at the wings you can clearly see the feathers.
I can’t show you the backside because it is well fixed to the cloth. But as far I can see it has broad pins, the pins are pulled through some kind of iron loops. On the back there is some kind of cardboard.
Best regards
stijn
