3 prong Navrik shield, fake right!

[Laurence Strong]

I spent a whooping $20.00Cdn on this today, so if it gets relegated to the fake pile, it's no biggie.
I have only seen shields with 4 prongs, were they constructed like this one?

well the scanner picked up quite the casting seem on the obverse and some bubble holes.
Anyways here's the reverse

Laurence, I'd have to weigh in and say this is a cast copy. It is definitely not struck as I think all Narvik shields were.

That is a bad one. Wrong material, prongs too big, etc...

Been reading with interest the recent thread on the Narvik shield posted recently. So here is mine for consideration.

Thanks

You're right Laurence, Narvik shield with only three prongs didn't exist. So yes this a fake.

I am afraid that this is a well known fake.

Thanks Pascal, I'm trying to find photos of good examples. One recent one that was good, Deschler, the photos have been removed.
