You may find pictures of two versions of Estonian shields on my website section "insignia/badges/foreign volunteers"

Hi Keith, I'm referring to the version with the 3 lions embroidered... That shield if I'm not mistaking is german made like the "Dachau" pattern wich is more often found.. thank you all guys for your help.
