Cholm real?

[Gunner II]

Hello boy's

I've been handed this Cholm shield to give an opinion, but this is not real my forté. the detailing looks very sharp and at least it is not the round-of- the-mill fake. What puzzels me ist the fact that the the silver coating is coming off and the base metall looks like Cupal. also the backingshield is definetly not the standard backing for a Cholm shield, but more for a Demjansk.
Please give me you're opinions on this one.

here are the pic's

This one has a chance. It looks like it was poorly repainted at some point, but based on these pics I cannot dismiss it as a fake. It has better detail than a cast copy, and the only real problem I can see is that crappy finish. Can you post better pics, maybe taken outdoors that can provide sharper detail?

Hello,


This is a copy Cholmshield. It has the same characteristics as the one that is often described as teh Floch fake. Same look, same colour of reverse pins, non magnetic, same backing plate etc ...

Im sorry, not a good one IMHO.

Cordial greetings,

This shield is without any doubt a 100% Floch fake.

It only takes a second to recognise the die flaw on the eagle’s right wing.
