cholm shield

[JoeW]

Here a couple I have had for some years. The one with Heer backing was purchased at a local jewelry/pawn shop in 1990 or so for $35. The other with the missing prong I bought from a German collector a few years earlier. I had an interest in the Cholm shield because a policeman designed the shield and an Orpo batallion fought there.

The white spot at the bottom of the metal backing plate is the remains of the jeweler's price tag. The other had the prong missing when I bought it.
