Need HELP on this Narvik Shield please

[gebirgaussie]

I have been offered this Narvik Shield by a collector in Norway and would like to know if it is genuine. I cannot make my mind up about it, as I have never seen a shield that looks like this one. Also, to my eyes it looks like it could be cast. I do not want to get ripped off, so I am putting up the photos here to ask the opinions of this forum. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Avoid at all costs. All three seems to be cast and on top of that Russian screwbacks? Big No-no.

Thank you Grimjaur,

As I suspected. It seemed ridiculous to me that an arm shield should have a button screwback!

Geez there are some con men out there. I just got ripped off doing a trade with a guy in the Netherlands. He got a very nice WW2 Japanese cap and a mint condition War Merit medal ribbon. I got a few old tinnies in return. When I complained about the other items that were supposed to have been in the parcel, he replied to say that someone must have stolen them. The parcel did not look to have been interfered with to me. I have not heard a word from him since. I should give up on this 3rd Reich game I think and collect only Aussie WW2 stuff. Now is the time to collect it before the replicators and con men get their grubby paws into it.
