I think its a FO Krim Friedrich Orth or its trying to be one,,some details are not as sharp as ones I have seen, but it still could be ok,,on the back side on the very bottom might be the mm F O,,cant tell from pic,but some are ok without the mm, l think, lets see what others have to say

Hi I belive this shield is original , I find this old Thread Post by Tim B.

IMHO, this shield is not related to Orth shields in anyway.

I also disagree the shield shown for comparison is really related to Orth either. There is no evidence of this connection and the details are strikingly different from known Orth originals, both with the attachment prongs as well as the later side tabs.

I believe that Krim is by yet another unknown manufacturer.

The shield shown is IMO a poor copy of a side tabbed Orth shield.

I'm not sure the other two shields help in determining originality.

The shield at the top of this thread is unquestionable fake with no chances.

I want to thank all of you for all the opinions and comments

Agnes,

The shield you are posting here is not authentic. It also is not of the same style as either the Friedrich Orth or other (Unknown Maker) shield I did the comparison on and you used in your comparison here.

You need to really look at the details; coastline, eagle's head, the numbers, etc. They are completely different.
