Nice Kuban shield

Hi guys,

It's been a long time that I posted here. In the meantime I collected some new things. Among them is a nice Kuban shield with a raised swaz. I got it at Weitze's store (sorry Carl ). I hope you like the pictures. It's the best shield I have.

 

Hey, Volkbert ! Good to see you here again !

And that shield looks nice to me ( not that I'm an expert about such things )

 

Hi Martin,

I hope I can visit more often. The shield leads to some discussion among experts but I like it very much.

 

Hi my frined, no problem about length of time--just so that you have come for a visit. Also, congrats, great Kuban Shield. I only have three shields myself, Silver Narvik, Gold Narvik and a Krim.

 

Hi Carl, the Narvik shield is the only shield I am going to buy in the future. Last november I bought one but send it back to the dealer because I didn't like the backside. Right now I have a Kuban, a Demjansk and two Krim. One of the Krim is a battlefield relic and is severely damaged.

 

Hi Volkbert, good going on your growing collection. I'd also like to colleect a few more shields but will be concentrating more on completing my Arty Majors uniform this year.

 

Hoi Volkbert!!!

Good to see you here again! Long time no see! Hope all is well with Barbera and Folkert!!!

This is very very nice looking shield. Do you still go to Huizen every month??? Still have to go there myself...

 

Hi Stevin!! All well here. Folkert is growing fast and is a healthy boy. Barbara is also doing very well. How about your singing wife?

I visit Huizen almost every time however is not every month. When you have time contact me and we can meet there.

The shield is great however at the wehrmacht-awards there is an enormous discussion about it. People even get a little pissed.

 

Chris is in Antwerp now till April I only see her two days a week. Does give me time to visit museums and cemeteries. A bit morbid, but hey...a guy has to have a hobby...

Glad to hear all is well with you! I will definately drop you a line sometime soon so we can (finally!) meet up in Huizen.

Fun that your shield yields so much interest and that people are getting heated about it! I still think it looks very good! I have no idea whether it is original or not, but I think it is a well designed shield.

 

Hi all, I'm a bit new to this and need some advice, I have a kuban shield and need someone who knows about them to email me with how much they are worth?? I have many other items as well including the iron cross
Thanks
Laura

 

Hi Laura, I might be able to help some and just send me a mail @ laughingsawfish@hotmail.com

Mods, I dont mind this email being public as I have over 5 accounts.

 

BTW, there is a book about to come out that is on Krim Shields. This is going to be published by the same folks who published the Infantry Assault Badge and others.
