Cholm shield on Luftwaffe cloth??

[Neil Howes]

I would really appreciate some opinions on this shield, also the cloth is darker than I expected to find on a Luftwaffe shield.

Hope you can help.

Regards,

Neil

It's a fake. Mike Heuer has a beauty on Luftwaffe blue; do a search and all will be revealed.

CAn you point to any spesifics why this shield is a fake Gene?
It is the only shield I do not own or have any experience with, so I would be happy to learn some info on this before I buy my first one in the future.

The subsequent photos Neil posted were MUCH better than the initial one, which appeared to show the eagle with a misshapen head, crude, unsymmetrical swastika, etc. Now it looks more convincing. I'd like to see sharp closeups of the eagle's head, swastika and maybe a side shot of the eagle's feathers (with the shield held at an angle)

Swaz detail, I will take new pic of the side as requested.

If not 100% sure about this it has a guarenteed return.

IMO this shield looks good for a "long M" type Cholm, which also has s lightly different eagle´s head (feathers) than the "short M" ones.

I agree with Frank. Looks good to me as well.
Has the typical characteristics of a long M type shield.
