This is a truly attractive - and actually very scarcely encountered! - WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Narvik'-campaign-shield being a very detailed example as was executed in typical silver-toned (and non-magnetic) zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based metal and that comes in an issued- (albeit - I deem - never worn- nor even tunic-attached-), condition. The (naturally non-magnetic) shield comes complete with its original (presumably zinc-based) 'back-plate' and field-grey-coloured, woolen-based cloth (on both front- AND back-side!) and retains all its four period-mounted prongs in place (which all four of them are present and functional as can be seen on the pictures). The shield shows some normal aging and/or moderate tarnish caused by years of storage but has nevertheless retained extraordinary detail. Its neatly silver-toned finish has been truly nicely preserved: something that is not always the case (as can be seen on the pictures). The shield was with certainty never cleaned nor polished and comes as recently found at a private German-household.). Simply a very attractive - and naturally 100% garuanteed original and - I deem - fairly early-war-period! - 'Kriegsmarine'-pattern 'Narvik'-campaign-shield that is priced according to its unmistaken scarcity and/or desirability!
