Attractive - 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 worn

This is a truly attractive - and in this moderately worn- ie. clearly used condition actually scarcely encountered! - WH (Heeres ie. Waffen-SS) so-called: 'Kuban'-campaign-shield that comes mounted onto its original field-grey-coloured- and/or typical, woolen-based backing and that comes in an overall nice- (ie. I deem clearly used- 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 of its four 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 still retains (truly all of) its black-coloured paper-based 'backing-cover' (as can be seen on the pictures). This example has stunning detail and was clearly issued and worn. The shield truly retains most of its somewhat glossy appearance and retains a fair bit of its 'Brennlack'-type surface (showing some darkened tarnish and has never been cleaned: it does show some minimal staining as is visible on the pictures). It should, however, be noted that Ithe (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 attractive example is accordingly priced!
