Tombak KM Narvik

I have been looking for a nice example of one of these for a while and found this one but looks a bit off to me though i'm no expert on these.

Would welcome any comments.

Hi Rob,
I see no problems with this shield.
IMO, a nice original shield in good condition.

Original shield but looks to be Zinc not Tombak.

I don't really like the horizontal prong set-up coupled with the phony needle holes in the paper that should be cloth to begin with.

That backing paper and the 'stitching' would worry me as well.

Here's an original of the same type.

I hadn't see the reverse of this shield before and I agree with Filip that the backing paper does not look very original to me.
However the horizontal setup of the prongs is typical for this type of shield.
