    Wit the flash the picture is not the best, however from what I see it is an original shield probably made from JFS.

    My books:

    - THE WEHRPAß & SOLDBUCH OF THE WH
    - THE SS TK RING
    - THE ITALIAN-GERMAN MEDAL
    - THE ANTI PARTISAN BADGE
    - THE AWARDS OF THE LW

    and more!

      Ciao Antonio,

      Thank you, I know the flash washed out some detail. Here is a pic without flash, let me know if it changes your opinion--

        Yes, I would pass on it, because it is IMO not an original shield.
        Lack details and some differences (one for example is the "U") with the original pattern probably made from JFS and I suspect this shield is also not magnetic.

        and more!

          The shield is magnetic on the reverse, and has a paper backing if that matters?

            If it is magnetic on reverse it means that the plate is magnetic, the shield not.

            If you want you can post also a picture of the back side, but you confirm what I suspected, and I confirm this shield is IMO not a wartime piece.

                "KUBAN" Shield wear pattern

                The wearing off of the top plating looks contrived to me. It is just too perfect.
                It might look OK in actual size, but magnified, it looks like it was polished off in a steady pattern.
