    Opinion on Lion shield.

    Could this be an original sleeve shield of the Flemish Legion or Langemarck Brigade/Division? Or is it merely a good/bad fake attempt?

    Thanks for your opinion!

    I don't know enough about these early shields to be of much help.
    Collectors guild has one for sale which is more expensive than this one.
    This has a lot of dark grey embroidery to the reverse.
    The collectors guild example I would be more comfortable with as the reverse colour is very similar to the dachau langemarck shield.
    Cheers
    Dave

        I own the same one...Also been told its a repro. Looks convincing though.
        It appears in the H & C book on German soldiers but the consensus is that it's a repro...

          Thanks for the replies already.

          Here’s the one from the Collector’s Guild (indeed a lot pricier), but is it more convincing or also a reproduction?

            This seems also a case of a diligent, but misplaced home industry.
