Hello:
Could you please post your opinions on this Demjansk Shield?
400E is very expensive?

Thanks
Iván

A nice original and complete shield by Karl Wurster.

Hope that helps......Peter

Thanks for your help Peter, can someone tell me if the price is right?

It is somewhat overpriced for the shield in this condition, but then again, what's 20-30 Euro for a nice Wurster Demjansk that you don't see for sale everyday.

[Peppe864]

this is indeed a very nice Demjansk.............I would be comfortable paying about 350 € for a baby like this, but not much more, only my personal opinion.............but if you want one in this condition I would say you have to pay about 350-400 €

Any comments on the slightly different position of the log's end on my Wurster?

Hi Peter

Can you post the reverse pic of your shield?

[Peter J.]

I could do that, but I don't see how that can help you with the question I raised.

Peter, it would be interesting to see if the shield's maker marked.

KR......Peter

Just pulling your leg Pete. Here's a link for the reverse. Notice the log on Pascal's KW-marked shield and compare it to mine and the one posted here.

Wurster was one of the makers mass-producing arm shields. Krim as well as Demjansk. Though there were a lot less Demjansk shields produced then Krims , they must have used 2 different dies , just like with Krims. The one on the top of this thread and yours represent these 2 different dies

[Peter J.]

Thanks Filip, two dies makes sense. I'm not sure if I read you correctly, can you please confirm which schields you´re referring to in your comparison image.

cheers

Number 1 on my image is the type that Ivan posted at the top of this thread. Number 2 is what you have.
