Krim shield
I have not had the time to find out about this. But I'm 96% sure of its authenticity. what do you professionals think? Unfortunately, all of the pins are broken, but I bought it a long time ago cheap ... so the absence of anything better, it is currently the only shield my collection
thanks in advance to all
It's a genuine Deumer shield in zinc, the later 2nd type that is not quite as well defined as the earlier one, and also the most produced by that company.

Hi, Ned's got the "eye" on these pieces! It looks an original shield to me to but in that condition it is not very valuable. Leon
A pity about the pins but still nice to have in the collection!..
I agree with Gunny.
Even though some say they lose value because of the condition like this, I still like it anyway. It still has some great detail left on the front. I've always like these shields, and displayed in my collection you only see the front of them anyway. Nice one!
