Superb - and actually rarely encountered! - WH (Luftwaffe) 'Kuban'-campaign-shield that comes mounted onto its original bluish-grey-coloured- and/or woolen-based 'backing'

This is a truly attractive - and in this presumably issued albeit (I deem) never worn- nor used condition actually scarcely encountered! - WH (Luftwaffe) so-called: 'Kuban'-campaign-shield that comes mounted onto its original, bluish-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 comes naturally complete with its original metal-based 'back-plate' and still retains all four of its original prongs (being attached to the centre of the shield as more often encountered with original 'Kuban'-campaign-shields as can be seen on the pictures). The piece still retains its complete and (typical) black-coloured- and/or carton-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 most 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) 'Kuban'-campaign-shields are a bit underestimated in value and rarity: genuine - and nicely preserved! - examples of the 'Kuban'-shield are actually scarcely encountered: even more so when they come mounted on Luftwaffe-type wool. I deem that this very attractive example is accordingly priced!
