Hi guys, I have come across this Narvik shield. I have compared it with other ones in this Forum and initially I do not see any issues with it, but I may be wrong, could you please give me your views about it?, Regards, Juan

Looks good to me. A 1st type 1.3 pattern by an unknown maker (although Juncker has been mooted but yet proven IIRC), and it appears to possibly be made from cupal, as a copper finish is showing in the worn areas. If so that would be a nice catch!!

Found it, for those who did n t know like me, CUPAL is a plating of copper on aluminum. The two metals are inseparably welded together in a special process. CUPAL is therefore not an alloy, but a composite material from the group of non-ferrous metals. CUPAL is tested in many ways and proven over many years as a replacement material for pure copper, Tombak and brassLooks good to me.

Hi Ned, sorry to bother you again with this, by looking at the cloth, IMO, it looks kind of blueish, could this be a Luftwaffe award?Looks good to me.

The obverse cloth looks like feldgrau to me. Should be a Heer award.
