Hi Soviet,

By far not all are magnetic, there are also zinc Krim shields. I would say that yours is a magnetic steel example. It is by an unknown maker.

I agree with Frank that not all original Krimshields are magnetic. There is even a type of shield which is known only in zinc.
By studying the Krimshield I am now under the impression that the zinc type is the earliest type of the Krimshield.
As for the one you have shown I am almost 100% certain that this shield is magnetic because I only have seen once a zinc example of this type.

Thanks guys. Yes, it is magnetic. Pascal, do you have a picture of a zinc one?

Here is a zinc example of the type shown by you.

Wow merci Pascal! This looks very different than mine. I wonder what do you use as a background to do your pictures. It looks very nice with the black background.

I don´t know how Pascal does it but an easy way to do it:
Use your scanner when it is dark outside in a dark room. Open scanner hatch all the way up and scan. If you cleaned your scanner suface well enough from dust, background will be pitch black.
