    Hi gents,
    May I have your opinions on this Cupal Cholm shield. This one seems has 3 prongs.

      Hi Andrei, this shield is not original, and it is not made of cupal. Its metal is probably a cast, modern alloy.
      Yes, there's a paper on the back, but this paper too is used very often on fake shields.

      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!

        Andrei, I also have two of these I bought in the 80's only to find out they are post war, originals are very hard to find and when you do, you need lots of cash. Just my 2 cents worth. Ralph

          Andrei,
          I told you it was a repro when I sold it to you, but it is always good to check when you think and hope it might be an original.

            Thanks guys,
            as expected not a war time production. Shield is not magnetic.

              Paper backing is hand cut, whihc is never a good sign.
