Kriegsmarine 'Narvik' campaign shield in Gold, mounted on a piece of dark navy-blue wool. The 'Narvikschild' was instuted by Adolf Hitler on 19 August 1940 for award to all Wehrmacht personnel who participated in the battle of Narvik (Norway) between 9 April and 9 June 1940. About 8577 examples have been awarded in total to all branches of service. The late war zinc-type shield is complete with its metal back-plate and 4 prongs and still retains almost all of its original gold finish, the shield is showing great detail. The shield is not visible maker marked but can very likely be attributed to the company of 'Wilhelm Deumer' from Lüdenscheid. Nice original Narvik Shield in very good condition!
