Any opinions on this Krim Shield?

**dramos** · 01-30-2013, 12:28 AM

I have been researching this shield for a while. The one pictured below appears to have decent detail (at least to me). I can not seem to make out the 6th city that should be at the end of the lowest river, but I've read on different threads that that is sometimes normal.

Only picture I have is of the front, if you guys need/want more I can work on getting some. Thanks for any help!

Almost impossible to tell at this angle. You need head-on photos and a pic of the back. But for what it's worth it looks like the 'Helmet Fake' to me.

Pantherv,

What are the characteristics of a "helmet fake"?

Pantherv,

The eagle looks like it's wearing a baseball helmet, there have been a few posted so try a search for 'helmet' or 'baseball' and you should find some examples.

Meantime, it would be very helpful if good, clear, straight on shots of the front and back could be obtained from the seller as the pic provided so far is near on impossible to tell anything from. Maybe for a reason.....
