Narvik and Kuban shields - what do you knowledgable chaps think?

[michaelhyam]

I'd like some opinions on these two shields if possible. I'm pretty new to this field and I think they might be genuine, but i am miles away from being any kind of expert. Thank you in advance for any help.






Thanks again for looking,

Mike.

I agree, Kuban is good, Narvik not.

Thank you very much for your opinions and thoughts - very much appreciated!

I thought they were both good - I need to study these a lot more!

Cheers,

Michael.

Hi Michael......

......On the Narviks the easiest(and first for me) point of elimination is the numeral 4. On the shield you imaged this is what we refer to as the 'low 4'. If you take a good look at it you'll see that the 4 is shorter in height than the 0.

There is also a great thread by Pascal H. at the top of the page that is outstanding as a reference, and learning tool.

Thank you, Bruce - I can see what you mean about the '4'.

As you suggested, I'll check Pascal's thread too - that will be very helpful - thanks!
