Re: Gruppe Niederlande der R.A.D sleeveshield
Interesting, but I newer saw this type of shields.
As known the RAD was take a part in Eastern front in active duty, served as the Wehrmacht units and take a part in a big battles.

Re: Gruppe Niederlande der R.A.D sleeveshield
Until I saw a photo of it being worn I did not know of such a shield either and I have handled a lot. With only 300 or so troops, it has to be one of the least encountered shields especially with them being in the East. a rare one to survive.

Hi Greg
I'am sorry but I've never seen one of these before. I think it's going to very hard to find another one to compare with since you said the Dutch RAD had only 300 members. Where did you get this one?

Re: Gruppe Niederlande der R.A.D sleeveshield
The shield came from a midwest dealer who received it from Chuck Scaglioni(sp?) along with a lot of other sleeve shields seveal years ago. All of the shields were high end and right as rain as is this one. I do not know where chuck got the shields from so it's pedigree is lost. It is possible that they came from George Peterson as he had access to a lot of rare and exotic shields. It's possible with George's forey into the Eastern territories that this may have been in one of his many bundles.

Yes, he burned a lot of bridges in the process of getting all of that neat stuff.

Sometimes you need just a ZIPPO, instead of burning the bridges, to be the lucky man....
