Title Afrika Korps sun helmet shield
Nationality German
Period c 1941
Sold

This was worn on the left hand side of the pith helmet, while on the right hand side the national colours were worn in a striped shield. It is in nice condition overall, with original paint work and silver finish to the eagle. The pins on the reverse have been replaced. A typical souvenir of Tommy Atkins from the North African Campaign.

The dirk arrived this morning and I could not be happier with it! Excellent little piece, most unusual... I look forward to doing more business with you, as finance permits; rest assured you will be highly recommended to my collecting colleagues.
