Hi there,

I know absolutely nothing about these shields - I have looked and I cannot see the moving prop! or the extra log!....

Anyway this one was in the box of tricks - any chances!?

Hylnur,

I thought it was, but as i said I have no experience on these. Spotting flats on a WW1 victory medal where the name has been changed is a darn sight easier

Here it is, explained with arrows and the whole shield. It´s not just the logs, lot of other issues tells us that this is not a pre May 1945 shield. The logs is the easy way to spot this fake.

Hylnur,

Thanks very much for taking the time to explain. It is a lot clearer now and I am a little more confident when talking about this shield.

Thanks once again.
