Hello ,

Guys i would like to know your opinion about this Demjansk shield. This is magnetic version (steel made). In my opinion this is a copy.
Regards!

from the whole design like the detail on the eagle / propeller / swastika a very bad one even.

Hi,
Thank you for reply. I agree with you about details, but this shield is steel variation. Shield from Zink have better and crisp details (im my opinion). I attached pictures from Demjansk shield article , Link to this article :THIRD REICH MEDALS ARTICLE THE DEMJANSK ARM SHIELD 1941-57 BY JAMIE CROSS

Apparently there is only one type of zinc made Demjansk shield all the others are steel. Jamie cross has a zinc serif J for sale it is fake, it should be steel. Just goes to show that even dealers who have been into this for decades get it wrong ( or do they ?) Buyer beware , Regards Paul

Personally i don't like this shield woefully lacking in detail imo. The top of the M on the right hand side appears to be missing also! very strange, i would give this one a miss. Regards, Paul
