After a recent Floch Shield purchase, I began looking at the other shield in my collection. I know this one has some damage, but I was going to try and trade up for a Krim shield in better shape. Before I even attempt that, could I have some opinions?

I am sorry to say that your Krimschild is another fake by Johannes Floch.

Also check the following thread:

Post #1 shows a Floch fake, just like yours, and post #2 shows the original type that the Floch fake was based on. If you compare the two side-by-side you will notice all sorts of differences in the details. Notice the notch in the coastline, directly below the wreath, on the original. That notch is absent on the Floch fake. Also notice that the fake shows the same kind of artificial aging from a chemical that was deliberately dripped on several places of the shield. Natural aging will never look so blatantly deliberate.

Hi Pascal,
Thanks for the correction about this particular type of fake Krimschild. I have always heard this type referred to as the Floch fake. So I don't confuse the issue in the future, could you please post a picture of the Floch fake Krimschild?
Thank you & best regards,
