JFS Krim Shield Opinions Please!

[William J]

Hello,

I have been seeking a nice Krim shield with cloth and paper backing, and I have acquired two in the last couple of months. I will post pictures of the first this evening and the 2nd a few days from now. This one is marked JFS 42 on the reverse of the paper. Please let me know what you think!

William,

A nice correct original! Here's one for comparison.

A little rusty, but still nice.

Many thanks to each of you!!

I have not been a member for very long (although I have been a collector for many years) but I am so very glad to be a part of the Wehrmacht Awards Forum! As I am attempting to put aside some nice original pieces for my two sons down the road, I am deeply indebted to each knowledgeable member who assists me in making certain I am retaining quality original pieces! Tim and Pascal, I appreciate you both...(and a very nice shield you have Tim!)

Happy to help!

William,

Nice to hear that you have the care to pass these down to your boys and carry on with the history and tradition of collecting! Welcome to the forum and IMO, you came to right place for finding out good from bad--a lot of good people here to help you whenever you ask.
