Demjansk Shield and others...

[AZartman]

I have the opportunity to purchase 4 campaign shields. I'm going to post pictures as I get them. I have only handled 4 fakes in the past and I have not been home yet to compare these to the the photos of the fakes I once owned. If anyone can tell right away if these are fakes, please let me know. Also PM me if you like.

thoughts?

these are the best photos I could get thus far. Anyone have any thoughts on these?

[Marvin Jeffus]

The reverse photos of all look questionable, does not conform to accepted period originals. The obverse photos of the Demjansk shields appear to be flat and not vaulted, may be the photos. The Narvik may be the small 4 fake. I would pass on this deal, be patient and continue looking for better examples.

[AZartman]

Yes the seller did specify flat items versus vaulted. These are NOT vaulted. I will research the small 4 on the Narvik to see if I understand correctly. Thanks for helping me out.

[AZartman]

Thanks...I passed on these.
