Attractive, WH (Heeres o. Waffen-SS) 'Krim'-campaign-shield that comes mounted onto its replaced, field-grey-coloured 'backing' and that comes in an issued-, minimally worn and/or carefully tunic-removed-, condition

This is an attractive example of a (presumably) non-maker-marked, (Heeres o. Waffen-SS) 'Krim'-campaign-shield that comes mounted onto its - I deem - period-replaced, field-grey-coloured- and/or summer-type (and somewhat 'roughly-styled') cloth-based 'backing' and that comes in a clearly issued-, moderately worn- and/or most certainly carefully tunic-removed-, condition. The shield comes naturally complete with its metal-based 'back-plate' and has all its four prongs in place: it has, however, lost its 'backing-paper' (as can be seen on the pictures). The shield - which is non-converse-shaped as more often seen - truly retains most of its original, bright-golden-coloured- and somewhat 'matted' finish ie. bronze-like appearance in place and was never cleaned nor polished: it does show some minimal staining caused by minimal wear and/or decades of storage only. The piece was found as such at a private household in Germany and was never before in collectors'-hands. Simply an attractive - and desirable! - 'Heeres ie. Waffen-SS'-pattern example that was surely issued and minimally worn. It should be noted that these 'untouched and clearly worn' examples are quite hard to come by: it will be hard to upgrade this specimen!
