Krimschild - Opinions Wanted

[cjmpaintings]

I'm looking to acquire my first sleeve shield. How does this piece appear to everyone?

It lacks detail

Compared to my original it does lack detail around the wreath and other areas. I defer to others with more experience. NH

Hello Casey,
your Krim shield is a genuine one made by an unknown maker.
I quite like it and would happily add it to my collection.

Reported to be unknown maker 3.12 in the Krim classification catalogue in my opinion.

If I get chance I will try to find some pictures of it for you to compare.

All the best
Doug

Just to be clear, the example I posted for comparison was identified here as L/59 Alois Rettenmeier. I would like to see photos of your example Doug. NH

Doug's right, it's a genuine 3.12 (unknown maker).



Regards, Ned.

That identification is also correct, a nice example by Rettenmaier.

Regards, Ned.

Here is a good comparison to the one that started the thread. Taken from my files...not my shield.



All the best
Doug
