    I have read so much about the Kuban Shield and the more I read the more confused I became. Can I please get some opinions on this one? The 43 and 19 seem ok. And I read where the bottom line under the U in Kuban should not be solid, but open to the map, which this one is. On this forum, I read where the wreath around swastika should not touch the line - but this one does and I found many examples of real ones where it also does. There is no square around the swastika, the A does not seem overly wide but you can not see the eagle face very clearly. There is no MM on the back. So - whatcha think? Thanks.

    Can you post your photos the right way up?
    Searching for sideways photos in the technical section comes up with a number of threads regarding this issue.

    Thanks, Paul!!! I am really happy to hear that. Do the missing pins take away the value? And I do not try to make it shiny, right?
    I have a minesweeper I am going to post next! I am working my way up to what I really want - an Anti-Partisan War Badge. Thanks, again.

    Unfortunately you are correct , Missing pins ,backng plate & cloth will affect value. The badge will still display nicely though. Good luck in your quest for a Bandenkampfabzeichen but be aware they are highly faked & very expensive. Regards, Paul, Oh nearly forgot Don't polish it!

    +1 with Paul. Also very rare (thus expensive as Paul said). German soldiers did not want to be captured wearing one of them so they were often disposed of prior to surrender.

    Where did you get this for as a soldier?
