Eddieq Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Hi all, This my first post in this forum. Does this look like a legit Cholm Shield? Came from a trusted source but I’ve never had one in my hand before. Many thanks 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 On a Luftwaffe backing. Looks good, could well be an original. Have you checked to see if iron, you can try the magnet test. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Andrew Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Could you post a close up straight view of the head please? Appears to be panzer backing 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Andrew Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Cholm shields are difficult, however this appears to be the accepted design known as the long M variant. You can see the center arm of the M touches the ground, whereas the center arm of the short M version does not touch the ground and stops midway. Both versions are now considered original. Here is a short M version we had last year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
