This is a truly very attractive - and in this presumably issued albeit (I deem) never worn- nor used condition and actually scarcely encountered! - WH (Heeres ie. Waffen-SS) so-called: 'Krim'-campaign-shield that was most certainly produced by the desirable maker (ie. 'Hersteller' named: 'Josef Feix u. Söhne' ie. 'JFS') and that comes mounted onto its original, field-grey-coloured- and/or woolen-based 'backing' and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. I deem issued albeit simply never used nor once tunic-attached-), condition. The - highly detailed and/or pronounced! - shield is neatly (white) ink-stamped with the makers'-designation (and date!) 'J.F.S. 42' on its back and comes naturally complete with its original metal-based 'back-plate' and still retains all four of its original prongs (being attached to the middle of the shield as more often encountered with original 'Krim'-campaign-shields by this maker as can be seen on the pictures). The piece still retains all of its (typical) black-coloured- and/or paper-based 'backing-cover' (as can be seen on the pictures). This example has stunning detail and truly retains all of its somewhat 'glossy appearance' and retains all (!) of its 'Brennlack'-type surface (showing some darkened tarnish) and has never been cleaned nor polished: it does show some minimal staining as is visible on the pictures). It should, however, be noted that these (original) 'Krim'-campaign-shields are a bit underestimated in value and rarity: genuine - and nicely preserved! - examples of the 'Krim'-shield by the 'Josef Feix u. Söhne' ie. 'JFS'-company are actually not that easily encountered. I deem that this very attractive example is accordingly priced!
