Cholm Shield

Hi All,

This is on the market and wondered if it was real or fake.

Many thanks

Could do with clearer pics but looks good IMO

[Antonio Scapini]

I agree that it looks good, but some better shots are needed.

Thanks lads for the advice. It is for sale on a site called synders treasures. It would appear that even from my limited experience on WAF. This site seems to have a poor reputation and sells a lot of crap. Also the Cholm shields are hard to find, yet this site seems to have plenty. Should I stay clear?
Many thanks

Well since you've mentioned Synders Treasures, I'd proceed with caution. How much is he asking for the shield?

From these pictures I would stay away.

Looking at the shield better the eagle's head is not what I would expect to see, and other details look odd.
Ask for better pictures.
PS: search for some infos about Snyder, I'm sure you will find a lot.

He is asking $1,000 for the one shown but has a second for a similar price and one for about half that. It would seem that the general consensus on WAF is that he is a bit dodgy (at best)

"A bit dodgy"? I major understatment if ever there was one.

the design is incorrect for an original Cholm shield- just look at the head of the eagle!!

C. Snyder is no longer in the land of the living so probably just remnants on his website

[Barrymac]

Thanks for all the advice. I will give it a wide berth so and avoid at all costs 😊

Yes, Snyder is currently in the 8th circle and no longer responding to email.
