Fresh out of the woodwork with vet grouping from a 39th Combat Engineering
2nd Battalion Tech Sgt's widow. Grouping included 7 other original items including a Heer Artillery Capt. tunic, visor, and 3 helmets. 2 sets of original ss pith helmet shields were found in pocket of heer tunic. I know the controversy over the FP shields and the fact that only JFS marked shields are considered original. I thought the same unitil Sunday when I got these right from the vet source, all brought back or sent back by him.
Am posting preliminary pics I took the other night, will post better ones upon returning home at end of week. Hopes this helps document existence of the
JP marked shields.

well, these were in the pocket of a tunic and grouping I bought so didn't even know they were there until Sunday night when I got home after the purchase so no costs in 2 sets of fakes is all right by me, never know what you have till you run on the forum and get all the "experts" opinion
