    The back of the shield has a makers mark on the right hand side. Looks like a circle, within the circle it has a K W/A "V". And looks to be an A over the V or it could be a upside down V. Not sure. Help Please.

    Could be KWM "Karl Wurster Markneukirchen"? Hard to see in your photo plus I don't know if Wurster made Krim shields but thats as close as I can get. Hope it helps.

    Hi there,
    it's none of my business since the shild isn't mine but looks like "somebody" has managed and snap one of the prongs off upon separating the shield from the cloth backing...these itmes are better left "undisturbed" whatever the maker and try to ascertain whether they're genuine or not in some other way!
    Cheers

    Not the end of the world as the prong can be re-attached with some careful soldering but as always, it's best to avoid any breakages from the start. If in doubt - don't!

    Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
