Help with Krim Shield, Original or Reproduction?

[Rich Moran]

Last of the 6 shields I need help with. Please advise if this is an original or a reproduction. From what I gathered the small inlet below the wreath signifies an original. but I am really not certain.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

So far only 2 of the 5 I've posted is a known original. With that average shields are a definite mine field for collectors. And the 3 reproductions are decades old!

Thank you Paul for all of your help. 3 out of 6 shields, 50% average good vs reproduction. Not complaining but those odds if your not understanding these is an eye opener for sure. Now what to do with the reproductions. Maybe cut them up and use the material for shim stock, lol.
