Krim Shield
Hi guys, found this one in the classifieds on the forum, i have concerns on it. First it has 5 cities when it should have six. Im no means expert at these. What you guys think? Im not going to buy it just looking out for other members. Also nothing against the seller... i dont even know him.

Re: Krim Shield
I'm not a fan of the head of the eagle, or the wreath details, or the wool either. I'd be happy to be wrong however.

Re: Krim Shield
Not much my field, but I'm not liking this one. Even under magnification, I'm not seeing the city of Sebastopol on the bottom at the end of the river, and has been said, the eagle has a tack hammer head. The coast line under the wreath is unusual looking also. But, having said that, maybe it's a variant. There was more than one maker of these and quite a number of variations amongst them. Something like a quarter of a million of these shields were made...

Re: Krim Shield
Hi Panther and thank you for your thoughts on the shield.
To an untrained eye (such as mine), what pointers are there that makes this one an original variant as opposed to a fake? Can it be identified to a maker?
