Hi Daarom,
That's a very dangerous fake Kuban shield, easily the best out there, and one that fools a lot of collector and dealers alike. Without going into too many details, the main things that let it down are the poorly defined eagles head, differences in the size and definition of the date numbers, and incorrect letters, especially the wide topped "A" in Kuban.
Regards, Ned.

I go with Ned.
