"Russland" Volunteer Sleeve Shield

[RobertE]

Hello,

Just some words about the badge presented by Robert.

1. Debertex is right, it is a badge intended for the OT.

2. Sorry, but the badge presented by Robert is a very good copy. See attached images of an original badge.

Cordial greetings.

Thank you. A knowledgeable collector let me know by PM he had similar concerns about this shield and it's originality - I agree it is not original.

I obviously need to have my eyes checked, I didn't look good enough at the base cloth.

Dam, that aging fooled me too! Polux is right of course, not an original. Nice and colorful, but like someone stated before - Org. Todt only. What I would give to own the UKRAINE shield!


P.S. I did saw the FRANKREICH shield on sale one, about 15 years. ago. It was then around 650$ (which was a lot ) and because it was not the WH issued one, I never bought it. To be honest was not even sure if it was good or not, I was just getting into the hobby

Hi I just found out about this thread, Derbetex is correct regarding these shields they were intended for OT volunteers unfortunately very few were actually issued and worn.

Polux wonderful and rare Russland shield.
