The shield you posted is a copy. If you try the burn test, on the threads, you will find that they melt.

I attach a photo of 2 original BeVo patterns of the Galacia shield. There are subtle differences in the shape of the crowns and a totally different weave.

Cosimo,

The one you have posted... is that on eBay right now? There is one on there photographed exactly like you have it posted here.

Bob:

I know that the thread melts, but could it be a late war version made of perlon? I posted this question before and never got any anwer Luftwaffe used perlon as early as 1942. I would like to know if this could be used by Waffen ss, because I got exactly the same shield that Cosimo has directly from Galicia vet.

Cheers
