Is there any information about these shields? What years were they made and by whom?

Theres not much I can say..
A reunion badge for members of the 132nd Infantry Division that fought in Crimea.
It looks like an early badge maybe 50's or 60's, the maker is unknown to me, little to go on, as many of this type of badge used that style of pin, with no makers name, its hard to know for sure!
Nice piece though!!!!

No Nigel, unfortunately no history behind it. I believe this was an Ebay purchase many years ago.

I really like the Kurland-Krim combination.

A very attractive day badge indeed. Allow me to add mine as well (with the full-size shield for size comparison):
