Original WWII German Demjansk Arm Shield, awarded to Luftwaffe personnel who took part in the defense of the Demyansk Pocket between 1942 and 1943. Authentic WWII relic – not a reproduction. Backed with original field-grey wool backing. Some wear consistent with age – see photos for condition. A rare piece of military history from the Eastern Front. This shield was awarded to Luftwaffe troops and worn on the left sleeve of the uniform. It features the iconic eagle clutching a swastika above the word « DEMJANSK », with crossed swords and a central shield. ? Condition: Very good for its age – minor signs of age and use. ? Material: Zinc alloy with cloth backing. Perfect for collectors of WWII German militaria, Eastern Front items, or Luftwaffe memorabilia. It is not intended to glorify or promote any political ideology. Feel free to message me with any questions. Constructed of silvered zink, the obverse consisting of a shield bearing a raised plane overlaid by a pair of crossed swords, above a date of « 1942 », topped by an inscription of « DEMJANSK » and dual log pillboxes flanked a German national eagle perched on top of a wreathed mobile swastika, affixed with all four reverse attachment prongs to a zink backplate with grey wool liner indicating Luftwaffe issue, retaining a partially intact paper backer, the shield measuring 51.83 mm (w) x 93.09 mm (h), demonstrating loss of finish throughout the shield in addition to oxidation of both the shield and backplate, in very fine condition. Helmet, casque, army, M1.
