To my equally untrained eye it looks OK Glenn compared to the examples I've been looking at. I'm not sure how many different makers variants there are of these shields.
I would ask for some pics of the reverse if possible.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
it looks good but sometimes the fronts of repros are very good !! if he is a reputable dealer all you should have to do is email or call him and get his email and he should be able to get you the images !!
Thanks Gents, I will endeavour to do so...stand by.
I like it,but can't say yes or no,
This is a reproduction and does not match known originals in my opinion. A small "4" fake.

I think you are referring to a 'low' 4 fake? If so, I'm pretty sure this isn't one of those.
Here is a 'small 4' or 'low 4' fake. There are several differences in the details between this and the one Glenn shows.

Doesn't the Swastika look a bit off-center, only touching the wreath on one side? Just something that caught my eye...

I think that characteristic is one of the features of the type 5/1 but in any case i'm still waiting for photos of the reverse from the dealer. If they aren't forthcoming then my interest in this piece goes no further.
