Zink Cholm shield

[Giel VW]

I think, its not a zinc ! You can check it via magnetic. Some "points" - show iron metall ! Zinc version - have some different design .
Rebuild - 100% ( prongs, back plate , cloth, paper ).

Altough I am aware of the rusty looking spots I do not agree.

1) Shield is not magnetic, the backplate is magnetic
2) The edges of the shield are different from steel shield. While the side of a steel shield goes like this "/", this shield's side goes like straight like "I"

Then not clearly silver covering. On original zinc there was no silver covering.
See pic. - mint zinc.

Hello,

I personally dont have a problem with zinc 3 prongs so long as they have the details you would expect from a short m cholm. I dont see any reason why they cant be real...no matter how man prongs they have.

With that being said I do not like this shield the Giel posted as it completely lacks the details that you would expect on a short m Cholm. You can really see where it is lacking in the eagles talons.
