Attractive - truly worn and actually scarcely encountered! - WH (Heeres ie. Waffen-SS) 'Kuban'-campaign-shield that comes mounted onto its original field-grey-coloured- and/or woolen-based 'backing' as issued and/or used

This is a truly attractive - and (I deem) just moderately used- ie. clearly tunic-removed! - WH (Heeres ie. Waffen-SS) so-called: 'Kuban'-campaign-shield 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 and/or 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 sides of the shield as more often encountered with original 'Kuban'-campaign-shields as can be seen on the pictures). The piece misses (most of) its paper-based 'backing-cover' (as can be seen on the pictures). This example has stunning detail and truly retains almost all of its somewhat 'glossy appearance' (showing some darkened tarnish) and has never been cleaned nor polished: it does show some minimal (rust)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 not that easily encountered. I deem that this very attractive example is accordingly priced!
