This is a truly very attractive - and actually scarcely encountered! - WH (Heeres) 'Narvik'-campaign-shield being a very detailed example as was executed in (minimally tarnished) 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 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. A fair bit of its bright-silver-toned finish has been nicely preserved as 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. The piece shows a small moth-hole on the right-side of its backing (as can be noticed on the pictures). Simply a very attractive - and naturally 100% garuanteed original and - I deem - fairly early-war-period! - 'Heeres'-pattern 'Narvik'-campaign-shield that is priced according to its unmistaken scarcity and/or desirability!
