Hi.
Can anyone tell me if this armshield is good or fake?

Ragards.

Looks OK to me. These are common.

Cheers, Ade.

Sounds good Ade.
What is a fair price?

[Adrian Stevenson]

$25 to $30 max. A forum friend just paid $33 for one including Postage & Packing.

Cheers, Ade.

I'm sorry but if it is original why it is so cheap? There were quite a few azers in Wehrmacht so this shield can not be very common.

Lack of interest possibly?

Not a TR production expert here, but I think that this is due to the fact that hundreds of them were produced at places like Dachau, without ever being issued. Therefore large quantities of them were discovered at the end of the war just piled up in warehouses. GI's brought them home, and they are pretty easy to find, like foreign volunteer insignia.

Mo is correct. Just the sheer number of these found, still uncut on the roll.

Cheers, Ade.
