Both original shields with the correct backing.
Maker is probably Deumer.

May I suggest you pay a visit to the section of Conservation/Safe keeping forum and research how best to deal with the zinc pest that seems to be taking hold on your left shield. Would be horrible if something were to progress and turn a nice shield into a relic hunk of junk.

I show an example of what zinc pest can do if left untreated.

Hi Detlev,

Agree with Pascal, both "probably" Deumer shields here.

Though none of these Krim shields were ever actually marked as Deumer, the "assumption" is based on past examples seen on salesman boards with other Deumer products. Not 100% proof positive but, as time goes on, I personally think we are not going to see a better connection to any other maker at this point.

Nice examples, congrats!

Terrible outcome Justin! Hopefully it wasn't one of yours?

And to think, there are still some out there that prescribe doing nothing!!

Thankfully no, I keep this shot as a caution for others who may not be aware of the disaster that could befall a nice piece if not cared for properly.
