WH (Heer) 'Narvik' Campaign Shield

Description

This is a very nice WH (Heer) Army type 'Narvik' Campaign Shield in Silver (Narvikschild), mounted on a piece of fieldgrey 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 zinc-type shield is complete with its metal back-plate and 4 prongs and still retains its original carton backing. The shield still retains almost all of its original silver finish, the shield is showing great detail. The shield does not show a visible makers-mark. Nice original example in very good condition!
