The funny thing is this type of shield always comes with the exotic cloth colors. Be it a black for Panzer or Luft blue. I wonder where all the Heer have gone.
I would pass on this shield IMO

[Pascal H.]

I have no problems with this shield.
This is IMO the only original zinc Kuban shield known.
What maybe more special is, is that is to my knowledge this is the only Kuban shield with a maker mark .

Well, now I will have to get one and tear it apart ! BTW, does anybody own a Luft Kuban award doc or has a scan of one? If yes, please be so kind as to post it.
