Hi All,

Found this piece between some junk.

Is it real or just another fake?

It has been glued to the green cloth.

Grts,

Wesley

Fake, never holes, hard to find in France, there was only one factory(French) and collectors want to keep them in Brittany!

I was under the impression that these were never issued or mass produced and only a few handmade examples were made pre-45, the rest being Fakes.

If you have any information to the otherwise please share it.

They made the shilds for soldiers and also girls working in hospitals.
Friends told me that 13.000 shields were made, but where they are ? I know collectors who have some because it's from their town, so I never tried to buy one shield. Price = 1300 to 1500 €. Too special for me.

I've never heard of such numbers being produced, being never recognized as a legitimate award.

I was under the impression that only a few were handmade, during the siege.

I'd be very weary of these. Do you have any photographs?
