KRIM SHIELD FOR HEER TROOPS

SOLD!

Amazing example of a scarce Heer Krim shield.

The award is in the form of a vertical, die stamped, magnetic sheet metal construction, shield with a bronze wash featuring a large embossed national eagle with out-stretched wings, clutching a wreathed, canted, swastika in it’s talons, to the top center, situated above an embossed, stylized, map of the Crimean peninsula with the embossed dates, "1941-1942", and the impressed location, "Krim". The recessed "water" surrounding the peninsula has a subtly pebbled, background field. The edge of the shield has a fine, embossed, line and a stepped down outer edge. The shield is mounted on a cut-out, rounded bottom, flat topped, shield shaped, feldgrau wool base with an alloy backing plate with a protective, green paper backing.

Maker of this specimen is still unknown.

A very beautiful and scarce shield for Heer troops in nice conditions.
