WH (Heer) BeVo woven sleeve-shield as intended for a volunteer within the 'Kroatian' Legion (Kroatian Landeschilde). These particular armshields, showing a red-white coloured checkered shield, existed in German spelling ('Kroatien') and in Croatian language ('Hrvatska'), being the Serbo-Croat spelling for Croatia. This is an example with the Serbo-Croat spelling. The shield is executed in the neat so-called BeVo weave style on a field-grey linnen background. This is a rarely seen example which is in clearly used and tunic removed condition, unlike all the mint examples normally offered for sale. Stunning original volunteer shield!
